Well i was going to set up 20g with 8 neon tetras, 8 corys, and a gourami in a well planted tank when i found out that there is a 75g really cheap so im going to try and do that same idea but in a bigger tank. Any ideas like 20 neons, 5 gouramis, and like 16 corys, but anything else that go in that tank?
What to put in a 75g?

How about monsterfying everting like get some of the larger trichogaster gourami's, brochis instead of corys and some larger tetras
if you go with your original idea you could easily squeze in a few more corys and neons, what type of gourami and corys were you thinking of getting
large school of neons look really cool. im gonna throw out the suggestion of trying to get cardinal tetras instead of neons. basically the same but the cardinals have a longer red band which i think makes them more attractive IMO. id say maybe another school of a different tetra maybe like a rummynose.
i have decided to go with pink kissing gourami,giant danios and tiger botias in my 75. i am guessing about four or five of the gourami and 4/5 of the loaches. i have read that the kissers will get as large as the tank allows and the loaches about 8 inches. but i dont think you should worry about it when they are babies,because all fishkeepers know that not all will survive to monster size. you can see on my profile what i originally started out with...the crayfish and a ick outbreak laid waste to almost all of them. and i thought jewels and oscars were tough...
Could do what im doing. African Oddball tank, Bichirs, Congo Tetra, Ctenopoma, ABF etc.
But if you go with cardinals/neons you could easily fit about 60 in there, I also think corys are great and id go with Panda, Peppered, or Pgymy.

ya im mixing up the cory species, like getting as many species as i can, some albinos, pandas, peppered, emerald greens, etc. And the only thing about cardinals is that they are way priceyer(sorry not a word) then neons, like i can get like 3 neons for the price on one cardinal, or at least where i live. Im am trying to do a SA look, but the gouramis are not from SA, thats why i didnt want to say that. And Jack give some ideas on some larger gouramis, brochis, and some larger tetras
