Convicts And What?

[Recky10]

I have been doing some research on what i want in my 75 gallon freshwater tank and had some questions.
1: can convicts be kept with blue rams, dwarf guoramis, tetras, and silver dollars?
2: would a tank with rams, tetras, silver dollars, and guaramis and maybe a few platys be healthy and cofortable?
3: how many of theis fish can i get and what ratio?

help would be apreciated

Convicts aren't livebearers so this is probably the wrong section.

Also, if you have mixed sexes of convicts in your tank they will pair up and become territorial when they spawn. Your other fish will become targets. The Silver Dollars are going to get large enough to potentially eat your tetras as will the cons eventually. The cons may be too slow but the SDs are fast enough to eat small schoolers.

I'd do more research into the species you listed. Doesn't seem to me that tank would work at all.

Convict's cant work with anytihng unless it is way bigger and more aggressive than them. Option 2 sound's good,. but i would go with maybe 6 cockatoo Apisto's, no silver dollar's as they are big, jumpy, aggressive, and look ugly, Gourami's, i'd go with maybe 4 Powder Blue one's, as they are very pretty adn lively, and i would go for 2 male Red Platties, 6 female red platies, 2 Dalmation Mollie male's, and 6 dalmation female's, and 2 velvet red sworsdtail male's, and 6 velvet red female's, and maybe a school of 20 Neon tetra's. FYI, only the mollies, sword's, and platies ar elivebearer's. Do you know about cycling

My LFS currently has rams, pearl gouramis, guppies and platies all in one display tank and no problems there. I haven't kept any of the species you're asking about except the livebearers so that's the only advice I've got - those will go together fine.
