Stocking advice

[billy_the_kid04]

I've got a 75 gallon and was looking to do a south american community tank. Here's the two options I was thknking of. Let me know your thoughts.

Option A:
1x Green Terror
3x Pictus cats
1x Sorubim Lima (With the varied size growth I'm not sure he'll fit. Would love to have one though)

Option B:
1x Green Terror
3x Pictus cats
1x Flowerhorn (Not sure how it would get along with the GT)

flowerhorn definitely wont work, it is very rare for a flowerhorn to get along with any tankmates once grown in huge tanks, and definitely not in a 75g, he will kill the GT, i would just do the male GT with about 5 pictus and maybe some taller growing tetras like serpaes or buenos aires tetras for some extra movement if you want but not silver dollars, they get too big, and make sure the GT is very small when you add the tetras so they have a good chance of continuing to be left alone

Yea like Sarah said, option B won't work. Option A would be a nice setup.

definitely option A. to mix a flowerhorn with other fish you'd want to look at a 125 at least.
