redmare Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I have an 80 gallon tank that I get to set up and stock once I move in about a month, and I am so excited. I am having the HARDEST time figuring out what I should put in it! I've come up with about 20 different ideas. I'm just wondering what all you keep in your 75-80 gallon tanks, or what you would do with one if you had one! I'm fond of colour, activity, and a fairly large variety of fish, and definitely plants as well. I've thought of doing pearl gouramis, electric blue acaras, and all kinds of dwarf cichlids as centerpieces, and like half of the tetras out there have been on my list at some point. There's just too many awesome fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted August 17, 2020 Administrators Share Posted August 17, 2020 Sounds like some rainbow fish and some roselink sharks may be considered as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick M. Bodega Aquatics Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Since it sounds like you already have experience, I highly recommend discus! You can keep unagressive fish like cardinal tetras when they are young but be prepared that they will eventually become food when they get to about 4 inches. I always keep the blue discus. Varieties like, Blue diamond, cobalt, scorpion snakeskin etc. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I totally forgot rainbows were a thing! I've been getting interested in those lately, they're so cool. 39 minutes ago, Patrick M. said: Since it sounds like you already have experience, I highly recommend discus!

Mr. Ed's Aquatics Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I'd do Africans, but I think any bigger tank should have them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
