stocking a 75 gallon aquarium

[FSM]

PLZ READ EVERYONE BEFORE POSTING AGAIN!!!
this is a grow out tank for the clown knife and the id shark(which will go in a larger tank when they are larger and i haven't seen an iridescent shark over 18" in my life, so...).in some of the books i have say chinese hi fins get only 24"...just an idea to see what everyone would say. AND the banded sharks can live in tropical conditions, but they will not thrive in them.

this is a picture of an ID shark I got off wikipedia.

anyway, I voted clown loaches because they are awesome. Chinese hi-fins get big and I'm pretty sure a Lima will outgrow a 75. Silver dollars are cool too, but red hooks get too big.

i've seen that before and it doesn't seem like it's in a tank of any sort...most likely a pond. why are clown loaches awesome?

its a 48" x 18" x 20" i don't think these fish are going to outgrw even a 30 gallon tank at 10 inches.

Wow, need to rethink your fish keeping. All those fish in a 30 gallon. I know that that is not what you are doing.
But c'mon, you are not listening to others and still asking for advice.
"something is wrong with my car."
"oh, you need to add oil."
"No no no no, I'm out of gas. I'm just going to put more gas in and I'll be ok."
"umm, you really should add some oil."
"No, I'll just ask some other mechanic, I KNOW I'm out of gas."
....and guess what happens down the road.

I'm glad your not adding the id shark to this stocklist anymore. What you have on your stock list actually looks fairly good, outside of the clown, but it will work for a bit. Glad you have plans for the clown, hope they work out.

Excelent! I think that you will enjoy your tank. I'm glad you know that you won't have to long of time to enjoy your clown knife... Start saving for the monster tank now. Send some pics of the tank when its set up!!

You're over stocked for a 75 gallon so don't add anything else. I'm overstocked right now and I may have to get rid of some fish soon and I don't even like thinking about it. I don't know how I'm gonna choose cause I'm attached to all of them now.

im not overstocked right now for a 75 gallon tank i don't think. i will be overfiltering and be adding an air pump. i think i could fit a small school of normal silver dollars in there if i wanted to.

you need to read the "one inch per gallon rule" sticky at the top of this (general aquaria) forum. your tank is fully stocked.
