Stocking for a 175 gallon

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Do a community with red tail Chalceus , orange spotted sunfish, madtoms, bumblebee catfish a clown loach and a couple pictus
That would be overstocked. Clowns need to be kept in numbers being social and all.

The best advice i can give u if ur new to the hobby is take ur time and do research on fish and filteration before you buy....no need to buy the first fish u like and then realizing its not compatible with 2 other fish u want to get. I would worry more about cycling the tank as well
 
Further to the above have a browse on YouTube just to get a flavour of what's out there and what you like the look/personality of.. Then research your favourites to see if they are compatible with your tank/water type etc. From there you can put together a fairy well reasoned and stable comm tank. Have fun.
