My New 75 Gallon Needs Residents

[Crossfc]

Hi all! I haven't been on the forums for a long time.

I just got my hands on a 75 gallon bow tank. Right now it has my one Angel Fish from my old 30 gallon. I'm looking to stock it up with some bottom feeders and schooling fish. Any suggestions? I'm thinking corys for the bottom. No idea what to add as the school. I'm also thinking about adding two ottos.

With a 75 gallon you should do a school of otto since you have so much room. 6-10 as they are so small... maybe switch it up to 2-3 bristlenose.
Then add a nice big school of corys 6-10 and you will get natural behavior.
A trio of dwarf cichlids or rams for the bottom.
Then a school 7-10 of the larger tetras, congos, emperers, columbians
More angel fish?

See my 60 gallon below for an idea or two.

large emporer tetras look amazing. i have a mixture of sizes in the small group i have, just waiting for some to catch up to the biggest. very subtle yellow fin tips make the fish look great. cory's are great, loads of mint looking fish to choose from, and in a big group that you can stock will be amazing. personally, id be getting one or 2 of the more expensive L number plecs for the tank.
