What type of tank and fish would you like?

 

[JawsA10]

freshwater, and would like supthin weird looking and exotic, not like gouramis or cichlids or stuff like that. heh no affense to cichlid fans

 

[jayjay]

What sort of plec and loach are they? If it's a common, they grow to big for a 75g.

Well no gourami's or cichlids, leaves charcins and cyprinids and catfish. So tetra's, barbs and catfish. Maybe some kind of oddball like a senegal bichir. Oh yeah livebearers aswel but personally I wouldn't.

you could also do 2 pair of angels, senegal bichir, and perhaps some other things

 

[JawsA10]

dude thanks for reminding me! ive always wanted a senegal birchir (aka dinosaur eel) and now i can have one o and im not sure wut pleco it is but ill wait awhile if he gets to big

 

[Gankutsuou]

yes. But you'll need big fish to survive such a fish as the senegal bichir.

I'd suggust angels. No way he can harm them, and unlikely that the angels should try to mess him up either.

I'd also perhaps sugust instead of angels, Discus. A 75 suits them, but you're gonna need cash for those...


DISCUS DON'T GO WITH ANGEL. DISEASES

that's out.

Anyways, Maybe some giant corries would be too thick for his mouth.

A large False Flying fox....

The pleco will be way too big for food....


Just keep looking around. you'll find stuff B)

Hmmm i'd have to go with the Bichir mentioned above, i'm a big fan but i've never owned one...... as for things to go with it, they would have to be rater large fish, maybe 5-6 inches+, I think the bichir would max out at about 12 inches.

 

[Gankutsuou]

indeed. I think giant corries would be too big for his mouth though. While only 3 inches long, they get almost as tall as long, so should be all right. Angels would be too big too....

Perhaps some kinda fresh water puffer instead if you're into that kinda thing, but they take tons of study and reasearch,

 

[JawsA10]

ummmm what about my weather loach will he become a snack?

How about a shoal of adult Boeseman's Rainbowfish. They get to 4-5inch and look stunning.

 

[jayjay]

Congo river bio type senegal bichir, congo tetras, ctempoma (sp), ABF's etc.

 

[JawsA10]

i dont know wut kinda bichr that is but ill look it up and raimbow fish are already a given

Weather loach will become food.. My senegal ripped my weather loaches to shreads trying to eat them..

My senegal also tries to eat my rainbows.. sneaks up on them and tries to bite them..

The rainbows will probably be fine, but I wouldn't try weather loaches or cories.

What about an arrowana or a vampire tetra. They get big but gives you an excuse to go get a 300 gal tank next.
