ok, ive decided for no pleco cuz they require 125 gallon. tank stocking ideas? 75 heavily planted (soon to be set up)

[Sgooosh]

guppies mystery snail, maybe giant danios?, cardinal tetras?, shrimp, cories, loach?

 

[Fish4dawin]

What is the dimensions of the tank and the GH and pH? Need to know this so we can suggest ideas for you.

 

[Guyb93]

You could opt for many pleco that are smaller maybe ? Like bristlenose or clown

 

[Fish4dawin]

Ok so here is what I would put in a 75 if you have soft water (0-200), 8-10 dwarf chain loaches a big school of rummynose tetras (15 or so) a type of ancistrus or a clown pleco, and a angelfish or 5-6. Since you have a 75, you can actually have a school of angels preferably 5-6.

If you have hard water 200ppm+ go with 8 congo tetras, 10-12 sterbai cory bristlenose pleco and maybe sailfin molly or lyretail molly.

You can have a pleco in a 75. No problem. A common pleco is pushing it, but there are many smaller species available that would be great in a 75 with plants. Get a bristlenose pleco. There are several varieties available and they are fairly hardy to water conditions.

Otherwise, if you want a lot of activity in the tank, go with smaller, schooling fish. Get some.for the bottom, like cories and smaller loaches, like them worms, the khulies....get some tetras or barbs for middle swimmers. Get some danios, as they tend to hang out at the surface. Toss in some.guppies for colors and if you're gonna have some flow in the tank, like a circulation fan or powerhead, get some glass catfish. They are pretty cool. They need current tho. You could add in some bamboo shrip for filter feeders, and that added wow factor. You can pretty much go nuts with a 75 and smaller fish.

If.you want bigger fish, heavily planted may impede their ability to swim, and.they tend to be less active in a 75, at least in my experience.

Ok, other people are here to help too I was just suggesting ideas .

 

[Fishiemang]

Gotta check.your lfs. They pop up from time to time.

 

[Fish4dawin]

So you are not able to tell us the dimensions?

can all the fish you listed go with guppies? i thought angels would eat them

 

[Fishiemang]

They do. Mine down the street has had them a.few times over the years. It's better.to find a.dedicated aquaria store, as they will have a much wider selection than any petsmart or petco. Those stores are.geared more towards other pets, with fish for people who like to either use them as.feeders or fish bowls. They offer some larger species, but raising them is the hard part...hence they are so cheap when they are 1 inch vs full grown and lots more....
