what to stock my 75 with

[TheReefer]

I would love to see a 75 gallon with only shell dwellers and nothing else, since most people put them in smaller tanks as it seems.

When I had them I kept them in a 33 long, Though I had them in with some julidochromis transcriptus

I would go with paratilapia polleni. Grows around 10", somewhat oddball, beautiful cichlid. Add a group of dithers at your discretion.

Flowerhorn would be another good choice. Lots of different varieties and types to choose from. Good in a bare bottom scape.

What do you guys think about a zebra pike, I think that 75 gallons is probably too small even if he's by himself but i just wanted to get another opinion

 

[Bret11]

Well a green terror, jack dempsey, or a salvini would be perfect as a single pet. If you want multiple, you could go for some bichirs with an african butterfly fish and a leopard bush fish/leaf fish. Some shell dwellers or other small lake tanganyikan cichlids would be cool, some smaller south american cichlids like apistogrammas would work well.

How big will the Salvini get

How big will the Salvini get

around 8-9 inches, I've heard of them hitting 10 inches but that can't be verified

regani is one of the smallest pike cichlids. Really interesting behaviour. You just need to get a lot of leaves in the tank to make the right PH.

I have a regani dwarf pike cichlid right now. When I got her young, I put her with 3 rummynose tetras, 1 disappeared one day, days later half of one was floating around, 1 week later my last one was floating around with just a head. If you get regani dwarf pikes get larger bodied tetras as these guys will ambush skinnier tetras. Very interesting cichlids.

Maybe 6 upsidedown catfish, school of 20 congo tetras, 1 african knife fish, 4 african butterflyfish, 3 ropefish, and a pair of jewel cichlids. No clue if this combo would work, just thought of it now.
