ps, all the fish must be compatible with a rainbow shark, since he already got one for the 75 gal.

1. can i get a african brown knife fish? - Yes would be a nice size tank for this fish
2. are bala sharks possible? - No they get to big and active - Denison Barbs would be a good alternative
3. can i put a pleco with bala sharks? - Pleco would be fine with the other fish above, though maybe get a smaller one than a common due to waste and over all size but a decent sized one like a gold nugget would be good.
4. what starter fsih should i put in? - I would do a fishless cycle first and try and use some of the media from the 90 gallon that Zeke lives in to cycle it along then add anything after the fishless cycle.
5. im building around my albino rainbow shark; what fish are compatible fish them that can fit in a 75 gallon? - Yes Albino Rainbow would be fine in here
6. can i put in peppered corys? - Yes get a sand substrate and keep them in good high numbers and they will be very happy


Sounds like a nice tank IMO I would do

1 Brown African Knife
6 Dension Barbs
1 Golden Nugget Plec
1 Albino Rainbow Shark
10 Peppered Cories

and still got room for an other species or two

and one more thing; can i fit in a pictus catish?

 

[zeke the black ghost knife]

can i fit in a pictus catfish?

 

[zeke the black ghost knife]

ahem?

 

[james_fish]

Yes, Yes you can... As long as it's Pimelodus pictus rather than Leiarius pictus. Just don't house them with anything to small.

They would be fine with the list Wills drew up for you.

i was thinking about one of those pretty 10 inch big white spot plecos. do you think i can fit that in? (my 90 gal)

 

[zeke the black ghost knife]

well now aparently, my brother wants a change of plans. does this sound ok?

6 buenos aires(from 90 gallom)
4 rosey barbs (from 90 gallom)
1 gold nugget pleco
1 rainbow shark (maybe a red tail shark because im thinking about swapping my rtbs with the rainbow shark in the aquariums)
and my brother said he wanted some type of goby...

 

[AmazonFTW]

Sounds fine, and you've probably still got some space in there
Peacock Gobies are a good choice and they stay around 5cm in size.
Mogurnda Gobies reach 10" so I'm not sure whether one of them would fit or not.
