Having now moved my male dovii to the 210, I have too many fish crammed into a 75 at the moment. Since I have had no luck selling them (due to my rural location), I am off to Redding to give some fish to the LFS. So what I need is advice. I will list the fish I have from which to choose and request that you tell me how you would stock it. I might even consider bringing them all in and starting over with the 75. Please, no flaming on these all being in a 75...I know. They are in there for a total of less than 2 days. Thanks for the advice in advance. My list is...

9 inch male GT
pair of 9 inch JD's
9 inch freddy
12 inch Jag (pushing it, I know)
9 inch pink midas
7 inch blackbelt

So given this list, what combo would you stock my 75 with, or what might you suggest instead of these (I am always open to a Rapps order:naughty:). I don't have pics of all of them, but here is some.

geesh to stock that 75 i might go another route but u might be able to keep solo either male gt or freddy or pink midas maybe even the pair but nothing really pernmant depends on what you like .
 
Why not anything permanent?
 
i mean u could possibly but people are going to say at least a 90 for the jd pair or the midas or the male gt or freddy but it not that much of a different from a 75 amd go with your fav fish but not that jag as it gets to big
 
The 90 and the 75 are both 4 ft by 18 inch tanks. The 90 is just a little taller. I am also thinking about making it a growout for some very cool and interesting juvies. I plan on buying a monster (300+ gallon) tank this year sometime instead of having 4-5 smaller tanks. So many choices.
 
Keep the freddy and the BB and use the JD pair as "dithers". I'm sure those JD's would fight back so they're not much of dithers. This could probably work for awhile and since you're getting a 300 its nothing permanent either.

Btw T you never posted those bifa pics.
 
The bifa has passed on to the great monster tank in the sky.
 
Maybe I should look for a male Freddy? Anyone have one for sale?
 
I like your jack dempseys and friedrichstalii.
