So...I'mma college student now...

Hello,

As the title goes...I'm pretty much tight on cash now, but not all the time, just now. I am pretty much in the planning process of putting focus in my aquarium on ONE fish. I love polypterus fish, but I'm not limiting myself to them.

What would be a good fish, that I could keep just one of (two at the maximum) healthy in a 75 gallon tank. I'm in the process of planning to aquascape my tank, mainly to make it more appealing to the eye, sometime soon (mainly when I get the cash). I really want it to look good...right now, its rather dreary. No real plant life...no real background (which I intend to be black) and my substrate sucks.

Could someone lead me in the right direction of a good fish, that could possibly have a good personality, that could keep my company while I'm studying long hours, and pulling late nights? And, perhaps, could somebody show me pictures of nice looking aquariums for some inspiration on what I might do for my tank.

Thanks,
ShaneO'

For a solitary fish with personality, my top choices would be FH, Oscar or Red Devil, depending on what "look" you like best. But if you like Bichirs you could have a couple in a 75. Hope it helps..

A solitary jag would look good though in a cpl of years it may out grow the 75gal.

If you like polypterus then you should get a couple of senegalus. They're pretty cheap and they should do well in a 75 gal. For a solitary fish, probably some sort of a cichlid or maybe a pufferfish.
