New 75 Gallon

[Lindsey88]

I'm getting a 75 gallon tank from a friend and i'm just not sure what I should put in it. In my 12 gallon I have 2 otocinclus, 3 corydoras, 1 swordtail, 1 balloon molly, and 2 fancy guppies. All these would go into it. What would you guys get if you had a 75 gallon (4ft) tank?

I would get EVERYTHING!!!!
Hehehe..just kidding

I would turn it into an african cichlid tank, mbuna setup, but thats just me!!!!!

I don't think I want cichlids I want a community tank that my current fish can be transferred to.

Get a nice little shoal (12+) of some sort of Rasbora. Black harlequin's strike me as best looking. Rasbora heteromorpha With idk, whatever other boring community fish your LFS sells.

community fish don't have to be boring... lots of different shoals of fish look awesome in a large tank. I would do cichlids but I want my current fish to be happy in a nice large tank. I'm sure I can find interesting fish to put in there.

Some dwarf cichlids are community safe. Some larger ones like severums probably are too.

Here are my stocking plans
1 dwarf gourami
5 balloon mollys
1 swordtail
5 otos
3 bronze cory
3 albino cory
3 spotted cory
3 of some other type of cory
2 mystery snails
4 platy fry
2 angelfish
5 khuli loaches
2 german blue rams
10 harliquin rasboras
3 african dwarf frogs
1 or 2 bristlenose plecos If I can find them

I wouldnt put dwarf frogs in a tank that big they do have to come up for water all the time unless its a shallow 75 gal. if they get to tired they will die.

Ive had cichlid in my tank in the past and now trying my first large community. (in my signature) I have a little ways to go but so far i like it almost as much as my cichlid tanks, well see when i get it fully stocked but so far very happy.

ADFs can tolerate an 18 inch tall tank and I believe thats what this one is. If they can't stand it then I will keep them in my 12 gallon tank.
