Lemon Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 so I'm half giving up on a SW tank and by that I mean I'm taking a break and I'm going to setup the 75 as a freshwater without plumbing(I'm going to make something that I can screw into bulkhead that make it so water doesn't flow through) anyways what are some good options that if i decide i want to do saltwater i can rehome/move to different tanks easily so no large cichlids or puffers i was thinking a pair apistogramma, a pair of angels, tetras, cories, idk what else have recommendations? thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alison Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Apistos are always good and easy to rehome. Any sort of schooling fish is easy to rehome or take back to a lfs. Rams are also pretty popular from what I've seen. In a tank that size maybe you might want to look into some congo tetras? They are absolutely stunning. If I had a tank that size I'd probably go for some congo's. They get a little bit larger than other tetras, a good three inches or so, but so pretty. So sopretty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my area at least they have been super hot popular and have been selling as quickly as my lfs can order them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nataku Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Perhaps zebra danios and apisto borelli? Easy cool water tank that won't need much in the way of heating so long as your house temps don't swing wildly. You could also try paradise gourami, they're easy to breed and quite gorgeous. Though if you did those with danios, expect them to eat the danio fry. The adults should be safe though. Along the cool water theme one could also breed panda corydoras or paleatus corydoras. You'll just want plenty of plants with whatever species you go with, to give the eggs and fry cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) in a well planted 75 will apistos have issues with shrimp? not sure if its going to be well planted but that's the plan Edited December 21, 2020 by quirkylemon103 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
