FLFishChik Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 So I’m currently cycling my 75g tank and trying to figure out which fish from my stock list to add first. My list is: Congo Tetra x12 Lemon Tetra x20 Albino Corydoras x12 6 Otocinclus (added in the future when tank is established and mature) Longfin Blue Eye Lemon Pleco x3 which would you initially add to the tank once it’s cycled AND is there anything else you might consider adding to this stock list?

Billipo Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 My largest tank is a 40 breeder (45 g.) so I'm jealous. Species choice is a personal thing. But I know if I had a large tank, I would without a doubt have a school of Denison Barbs. I saw them at a store tank and fell in love. They check all the boxes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepere Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I agree with the cories. They are so good at stirring up the bottom Re suspending detritus to give the filter another chance to clean it up… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s your opinion? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) hey sorry for late reply, so I have seen some awesome ideas for center piece fish for biggger tanks (because for a lil bit I was thinking of buying one) and I stumbled across the Pearl gourami(s). They look amazing, maybe angelfish. You could get possibly some nice rainbow fish, i like that idea of the Congo tetras too, dwarf gourami(s) are awesome obviously, they could be good for a 75 for sure, but I hear that a good one is the blue acara and I have to say, wow, what a good looking fish! I am sure u have seen it but here is a pic, love these guys, (never kept one obviously but I have seen this fish lots of times!)There is some options, hope this helps 🙂 Edited March 18 by Whitecloud09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
