Stocking ideas for 75 gallon tank

[breadhead]

I was just brainstorming and I thought of 8 congos and a few kissing gouramis.

I would also like to have a catfish that gets to a decent size in there. I like upside-down catfish, and just any medium catfish that is the same size of preferably bigger would be great.

The one above is usually sold as dwarf peckolatila, gets about 4 or 5 inches, not a bad size for your tank.

Sounds good! How many congos and how many gouramis would work in my tank?

What is the size of the tank exactly? and then in dimensions and not gallons.

 

[breadhead]

48 inches by 18.5 inches by 20.5 inches. Classic aqueoun 75. It’s actually 78.8

But looking for a little bit more colour than kissing gouramis.

depens on what gourami you want aswell but i would recommend 1 male and 2 females. or just a pair.

Congos atleast 8

btw kissing gouramis are not actually gouramis but are Helostomatidae a sistergroup of the gourami

Ok. I heard you can’t really sex kissing gouramis, but I don’t want to spend 80 bucks on Congo tetras and they get eaten. I do like Congo tetras. I like pearl gouramis but looking for something with a little more size. I don’t know, just looking for a 6 - 12 inch peaceful and colorful fish
