so i thought i had decided on keeping my 75 L tank a wetpet tank (60L*18W*16H*) but it seem so empty and the only two fish i have in their are always hiding(2 F1 A. Labiatus "Lago Nicaragua") still haven't decided on which one to choose still fairly small no bigger than 5in. so know am think of adding more fish for the mean time while they still have a lot of growing to do. Maybe I will change my mind and try to keep a community or get a bigger tank but for the mean while my tank seem very boring. Was think of add one, two, or three more fish was thinking of these guy Amphilophus lyonsi, Vieja bifasciatum,arowanna,bichir (don't know which one) any suggestion would help thanks
wetpet or not???

I personally would stick with what you have because either way when they grow up you'll be overstocked and then you'll regret it. And if you are really set on getting something definately NOT an arowana nor most of what you listed. MAYBE a small bichir species, but personally i would just recommend some dithers like a school of silver dollars or something.
People so often buy a bunch of small fish... enjoy them for a few months... then when they get big all h*** breaks loose and the owner is bummed...
You were smart enough to do the research in the beginning and stock it intelligently... Don't spoil it now...
These fish can potentially live 10~15 years... they are only small for the first year... would you rather be happy with your set up for 9 out of 10 years or 1 out of 10...
Dithers are a good option... Although I'm not a fan of Silver Dollars (just personal preference though). Consider them or Giant Danios although I would expect Giant Danios to eventually become food...

There are a few types of sliver dollars, barred, spotted, and plain. And there are tons of other dithers like danios, rainbowfish, etc, i just recommended SD's because the are super active and don't really get eaten usually. And I completely agree with nutcases's reasoning btw. Just look up dither fish on google and you'll get TONS of ideas.
