i am getting a 75+ gallon tank because of some problems with too many fish in a 55 and all, so i am going to get a new tank tomorrow and move my oscar into it with my jack and bottom feeders. so now i wanna stock my two tanks with fish. what should i start with? any ideas. i think i am gonna get one fish from someone on here, but any ideas for other fish?
 
Unless you want to change water like a mad man, like me. I suggest you don't get anymore fish. I'm moving my fishes to a 125G and removing some of my fishes, just trying to pair off my Oscars and only keep 2 for my 125G. You should only keep 1 Oscar, they require a 50-55G per Oscar alone by itself. Seeing how you have another large Cichlid (Jack D) and bottom feeders (Plecos? They require 50G by themselves and grow up to 2FT). I suggest maybe just keeping the Oscar and the Jack D and get really good filtration and do 2X75% water changes weekly.

well my oscar and big pleco aren't going into it. i decided to keep the oscar in the 55 just because of where the tank is and how a bunch of people like to see him when they come over here. i am putting my jack dempsey and a convict in the 75 so far. might be getting a flowerhorn in it too. i have a small pleco that i am putting in there and a green cay. prolly a striped rafeal too.
