So you are saying a Freddy is too big for a 75 gallon? Even if it turns out to be a female?
Parachromis friedrichsthalii in 75 gallon tank mates??

Some go by an inch per 10g. As for tank mates... snails!
No, but I don't keep anything bigger than 10" in a 150g. Parachromis shouldn't be confined to small tanks. Such fish deserve space.
And definitely no tankmates for aggression reasons.
No rule like that, but bigger fish need room. 4'x18" is not much room to be active.
Snails lol
Thanks for the advice. I totally agree that they need space. My tank is on a home made steel stand with which I have been contemplating flipping on its side and getting a custom tank built with a footprint of 48x36 would that help or do you think these guys need a longer tank more than anything?
A salvini would love that. Mine was a psycho in a 15 gallon and barely a pest in the 70. I'll see what aggression is like as an adult one day
Lol.
If you want a salvini avoid fish with long finnage, that seems to be a trigger. Mine hammered longfin danios abd had a go at my betta but ignored platies.
In the 70 gal he sometimes pesters the pink tail (big colourful tail) but ignores the dull knives and butterfly fish. Just be careful with dithers
