Suggestions on stocking a 75g

[Becca3766]

Hey everyone,

We have a freshwater 75g tank that we want to revamp and cant think of anything to stock it with. We want to keep a pair or trio of fish in the tank, preferably with lots of color. They also need to be ok on gravel substrate and not super skiddish please. Also nothing smaller than 3 inches.

Let me know what you woulld stock it with and feel free to post a picture.

Blood parrots
Pictus catfish
Lima shovelnose catfish
Different types of bichirs
Jack Dempsey cichlids
Green terror cichlids
Oscars
Most mbuna African cichlids
Sun catfish

Most of these will work. What types of fish are you interested in? Keep in mind these are just options for example, some of these won't work together. Example: Oscar and pictus won't work but I think you get the point.

I already have a Longfin oscar in the 75 and I have a breeding pair of dempseys in a 55g: I want to sell the oscar so I can have more fish swimming around. Im debating on a RTM pair right now.

that pic is from wikipedia.I don't actually have any of the pumkinseed yet, but I've got cousins-bluegill and longears.
interesting fish. active, inquisitive.
bluegill can get too big for your tank, but you could go with longears here's some soso pics of mine. probably with 5 of them though, to spread out aggression. unless you just wanted to go one.they're feisty.
