So I've found the fish species I want to have for my 75, but I'm not 100% sure if it will work out. So do you guys think 3 Hydrolycus tatauaia and an Ery Ery or any other Ery species can live together in I 75?

Will need to have them all around the same size. Lot of hiding spots.
+1 break line of sights with some dw, the wolf shouldn't be bad, but tats tend to fight amongst each other from my understanding.
And as stated I think the tats will need an upgrade eventually. To a tank with 2' width, 6ft length would be good for them as well but 4 is doable I guess.
fair enough, I expected as much
Hmm so they are a lot more active then I thought, dang.
Interesting, I thought they would have been better off as school
The biggest I can go is 75, but the tank isn't set up yet which is why I'm asking, before I do something possibly stupid.
So would having just a single tat be better then a group of three?
I'm going by what is reported on this sight for tats as I haven't kept one, I'm sure one wouldn't mind being alone. I say 2ft would be better cause they can be skittish and sensitive, so if they get scared and bang in to the side you never know if they'll make it, people have reported payaras slowly getting worse after a scare that resulted in a crash till they die. 2ft though not a big difference can help. If you do a 120, it'll be wider and taller, but still 4ft if that's the problem. Like me where my tank is I only have about 4-5ft, I have he tank and the filter next to the stand, it's a 120, would've gotten a 180 if I could've of as money wasn't the issue but just don't have the space for it, though I wish I did
I might be able to do a 120, (however I have my doubts) I'd have to ask. I'm gonna try see what other things I can find on them.
only legit thing I can find was the seriously fish care sheet
well I also the payara care thread here which I failed to mention in the last post, but this is the only other helpful thing I've found is this

A lot of reds I've had never liked long elongated fish. Just something to be aware about of when deciding.
Another option would be a group of scombs. Won't push ur tank size and is manageable. Downgraded red payara.
