My 75 Us Gallon Tank

[jmain]

Right now I have:

1 pleco
1 cory cat
1 tetra serpa
1 minnow
3 black skirt tetra
3 red eye tetra


Also this is a very new tank. I did a water cycle of a fish then added everything above but I'm wondering what people think. Also the bridge and waterfall are bubblers in case your wondering whats on the top left its all bubbles

Thanks

^ you should have at least 3 if not many more for each of these. they'll live a stressed life without company.

besides that i think its looks awesome. i would add some plant-life though.

I just started the tank that's why there is not more cory cats yet. The minnow I wasn't planning on having but I got water from a place I do volunteer work (along with some seasoned gravel from them.) because I was having a water supply problem and the minnow got sucked up so I will be getting more of them. Also with the minnow I accidentally forgot that he was in the water and after I added the gravel into my tank I poured the water in (without floating him.) but he seems to be doing fine. The tetra serpa is the problem he killed the other 2 that I had so I really don't know what to do with him.

It looks really great. Like someone else said, the only thing it needs is plants. I would plant very tall plants in the back. Then half the size of the back ones in the middle. Then very small plants in the front. Just a few here and there. I have all fake plants in my tank. Too much work for real stuff. I am lazy.

The problem with tall plants are I have an undergravel filter and the 4 power heads I don't want them blowing the plants around. I do have about 4ish fake plants on the left side behind the bridge and then I have 2 fake plants by the tree (one is kinda small so your not able to see it very well but it is a hiding place.)

I'd say, if possible, get about 9 corys of all different colours. Then 2 more red eye tetras and 2 more black skirt tetras t make the list;

1 pleco
9 corys
5 black skirts
5 red eyes
4 minnows
Also, get some rosy barbs & some gourami.

Here is what my hope is to get into the tank at one point.

1 pleco
5 cory cats
5 black skirts
5 red eyes
5 minnows
1 serpa
5 dalmation mollys

Problem with all this I'm going to have to water the max size (I know the fish won't grow to max but still can get close to it.) Should I stick to the 1 in per gallon rule (even though I got the extra airration from the bubbles?

When I used a stocking calculator it turned out to not be 20 inches for 20 gallons, it was actually 24 allowed. I think with a 75 gallon you would be able to have more than 75 inches worth of fish from what I've heard.

Also in case anyone is wonder I got my heater behind the waterfall (so it wouldn't be seen) and the thing that comes off (don't know the name and honestly what its for) but I have it behind my intake
