New Tankmate?

[thutton]

Hello,
I currently have my 75g stocked with 2 Green Severums 7 inches, 2 Red Hook SDs about 4-5 inches, 4 Regular SDs about 2 inches. running Rena xp3 and Mariland Emporer 400

Basing Upon adult size I should have room for one more fish of decent size or maybe a couple smaller..

I am looking for recommendations and opinions on what I can/should get

It sounds pertty well stocked. If you are determined to add one more fish I would suggest a blue acara. Very attractive fish. Easy going temperment. And stays relatively small.

AWSOME

From the fish that you have in there, I would suggest adding a little shoal of colorful flitter fish like glow light tetra, neon, cardinal , danio or some giant danio or rainbows.

The torpedo body form would be a nice compliment and their speed would add a good contrast.

I probably would not add a thing unless it is a bottom dweller.

I was looking for bottom dwellers to replace the 2 inch Rainbow Shark I added over a week ago and was presumed eaten or dead as right after adding he was never seen or heard from again.... that is until yesterday duing a water change I found he is alive and well.... Now I have to be sure to stick food next to where I know he is hiding as he doesnt come out during feeding time

so no adding for me now im fully stocked, Now I just have to deal with the fact he is hiding all the time... thoughts on that?

Buy some zucchini, stick a slice of it onto the end of a fork, and set it on the bottom of the tank. He will eat off it at night. Remove it after ~48 hours if fresh zucchini, after 24 hours if it's bought frozen.

You can freeze the remaining slices to help it "keep" and this will also be able to be left in the tank for 48 hours. Dunno why, but whenever I buy it frozen, it seems to degrade very rapidly,but when I freeze it myself, it seems fresh as the day I sliced it.
