Stocking a freshwater 76 (aggresive)

[andyjs]

If you like oscars you can do 2 in a 76 with a large pleco and a cool cat or 2

That seems like a bit much permanently, although with a ton of filtration and water changes you could probably swing it. I would say do one oscar and maybe a medium sized pleco (one around the 10" range), but I'd personally skip the pleco.

They like company, and 2 is a bad number (one will probably end up a bully and the other will get picked on).

If you want a nice aggressive fish like a piranha, how about exodon tetras? They are basically mini piranha and you could have like 20 of them in that tank. From what I've seen and heard, they are probably actually more aggressive than RBP, if you're looking for a cool predator

i think you could get away with 4 rbp's if you had some massive filtration

but it is 76 gallons total and very deep
i would do a freshwater stonefish

i guess but i need to know if some other people think thats a good idea....

ya we have a stonefish at the store but people always ask where the fish is... so id like something that doesnt hide to much ;]
