stocking new 75 g community tank

[paopanlilio]

hi guys just setup a vacant 75 g tank currnetly have 4 albino bristlenose growing out all 1 2 inches 3 uner 2 inches 12 corydoras and a pair of blue rams


what else can i add here ?

tanks hooked up in a 50 g sump for my 150

the blue rams kinda cancel out lots of possibilities for a comm. tank. I would recommend some killis and maybe some white clouds. both will add color and swim in the mid to top level. but i wouldn't add them to the tank with the rams, as the rams are too agro for the said species

would angels do good with rams?
if not i can move the rams to their own 39 g
this 75 g is knda like a gift for my mom

IMO i would take out the rams. killis in a planted tank are AWESOME! angels would be alright in the planted as well. im not saying mix the killis and the angels though

arghh
if i could just convince my mom to go for bichirs or an oscar or a mosnter fish that could thrive in a 75

nice! discus would look nice too, but killis, depending on where they come from and species, like different water parameters from discus

im planning to grow out discuss in a 55g barebottom but it will take time before i can add them

full growns are kinda expensive here

Don't do white clouds with the other ones. They are coldwater and prefer lower temperatures than cichlids.
