New Fish List!! (75 gallon tank) (Read it in good health please)?
These fishes in the FIRST list are candidates for my topical aquarium.
1 Bristle nose Pleco
6 Corydoras sterbai
1 Siamese Algae eater
3 Pearl gouramis
6 Boesemani Rainbowfish
1 Butterfly pleco (this is not the hillstream loach...)
THE TENTATIVE LIST (BELOW)
(I'm thinking of adding SOME fish from the list below to the register above but not all of them!)
These are the types of inverts and fishes below (including your advice). PLEASE evaluate them. Remove anything that you think is best (if it is overcrowding etc.) or some behavioral and compatibility issues.
THE TEMPORARY LIST:
1 fresh water clam,
1 Pomacea Bridgesii
1 Filter feader Fan Shrimp
5 denison barb
6 Harlequin rasboras (TO CYCLE MY TANK. IS THIS OKAY?)
4 swordtails
OTHERS -- (YOUR SUGGESTION OFCOURSE!)
Which of these fishes/inverts in the temporary list are the best to be added or should not to append to my current candidates in the list at the hugely top and why?
ESPECIALLY, will most of them be existing together? I mean will the other fishes eat the inverts or vice versa?
What do you think? PUT DETAILED ANSWERS PLEASE!!
Please make the addition of your suggested inverts or fishes that are peaceful and easy to take attention of and state HOW MANYshould I buy. And please rewrite your list containing the fish you suggested.
And one more thing, whether you would like to rearange or jumble all of the list (top and lower list) the opening you suggest, please do list them down and put how many. Feel free to mix them adjectives up.
I recently removed some of my inverts in my list because of the suggestions to the recent answers. I lately want to have different types of living things in my aquarium not just fish and plants, but also inverts as okay.
If you have any other advice or useful info to put in in fish or other things, please do type it down. I will really appreciate all of the information
that you will give me.
Thank you!
First you need to rethink the bottom dwellers. You can have a plec and cory, you enjoy enough room for two plecs and maybe the cory, forget the loach, they get aggressive beside age and having other fish on the bottom is asking for trouble. A pair of Bristlenose and the 6 cory with plenty of hiding places is a suggestion. Though miscellany is the spice of life allocation of space stops conflicts. In your temporary list, you enjoy a clam, snail and shrimp. The shrimp won't be able to compete with bottom feeding fish, clams don't do much and require greatly clean water, but the snail will come to no harm.
Definitely wouldn't choose Harlequins to cycle near, they are quite sensitive to their water. Assuming you are getting young small Denison's they are a better choice within that they are quite hardy.
Denison Barbs max out at 4.5", which makes them ideal for mixing next to the Rainbow. Six rather than five would be the recommended number. If you go that way rethink the Gourami as you will own some real speed freaks in your tank and a righteous current shows both Denison and Rainbow off best which doesn't suit Gourami With Swords it's one male per tank and again they resembling a good current; two females is enough unless you plan to breed and that's going to happen besides, unless your PH is around 6.5.
Don't really like suggesting fish for other peoples tanks, because I only keep hold of the ones that appeal to me and that's what it's all about. Go slow in building your collection and you could finish off up changing your mind 20 times before you own the finished community. I do think Rainbow and Denison will make a pretty spectacular mix as there's plenty of colour and movement.
Should mention, both Denison and Swords are jumpers, so a tight lid is required :o)
first roll is ok just u may wanna rething two plecos they get really big (some do stop when they no if they go and get bigger they'll outgrow the tank) which is about 8-10 inches when they do that so umay not want that but in a community tank hmm im really not certain im into agressive fish (except my pleco) but umm try goin to ur petsstore and look around and ask what would go good and tell them ur fish because every petsstore have different fish but i think a stingray would be cool
Answers: sorry for the hitch.
Stocking a tank can be done in many ways...I found patients to be the best method.
Enjoy your tank the best you know how, these are just a few suggestions..thats all
If I started another 75 gallon beside no specific plan it would take me well over a year to stock as fish are seasonal so stocking a tank adjectives at once can restrict you.
you stock your tank all at once and then you see fish that wow you 5 months subsequent and you have no room as you settled for something early.
You could set up an unreal cichlid tank.these fish hold tons and tons of personality, you get to see natural really working as hierachies are built.
You could set up a predator container like pike heads, chomp chomp
You could set up a discus tank.
Or a discus combo as they similar to quiet tanks so 3 or 4 awesome discus fish (get to be dinner plate size)and a school of 50 rummy nose tetras and 5 or 6 torpedo barbs and wow, nice tank.
There is so much out there, so to stock a container to limits right away i find a shame and actually slightly dangerous if you know how cycling works.
You were going to cycle beside 5 harlequins...ok so you put them in and in 2-3 weeks (use seachem stability or seed from another container to help jump start, or both)) your tank is cycled. Yes but to merely 5 harlequins.
Bacteria population will grow to feed off of 5 fish. you add 10 more fish...everyone dies..why, you shocked the container as the bacteria pop can only accomadate 5 fish, sure it will grow for 15 but not surrounded by time.
Add fish slowly not all at once...a couple a week tops. The more fish in the tank the bigger the microbes popluation and the faster it can accomadate new fish.
You put that list in at once the subsequent few days will be the worst of your fish hobby life as everyone starts croaking. So be very careful here and know how the bacteria colony works.
When it comes to stocking the tank you can't do it wrong if its the fish you resembling. But heres an example.
You buy the bristle nose pleco..he's nice, eveyone has one then you travel into the pet store 2 months later and the guy is all exicited as his once a year royal pleco's are coming in?
Royal pleco...wow
http://www.discusaquarium.nl/images/0412...
You seize your leopard cories (very nice!!) but then green and orange laser cories come in...wow,
I enjoy these...I went in, the guy said look at these crazy guys.
Pseudomugil furcatus.
fork tailed rainbow fish..they are so cool and there eyes buoyant up electric blue from across the room!

If i stocked my tank all at once...and couldn't get these i would enjoy been sad.
People look at my tanks and walk wow..they think i know every cool fish out there but really i was simply patient.
I ask fish store managers all the time, whats cool coming contained by. There is always something.
So every couple weeks something cool comes in and you have room for it and its compatable near current stocking. No stupid swordtails, no stupid leopard danois or harlequins, (yes i hate them 2.) no silly neons, no stupid mollies etc...
Find the right fish store first then stock.
Wrestling halfbeaks come in, consequently Orange australe killiefish, threadfin rainbows..etc...
theres no point i can go on...
LOOK AT ALL THESE FISH!

You do what makes you happy but stocking a container based on what you see currently at a really good fish store I think is a mistake.
Good word is, if you like it then it be the right choice just don;t limit yourself.
Make sure you research everyfish since buying.see it in the store, run home and research..don't listen entirely to the pet store guy trying to get the fish out of the store. One wrong fish approaching a red tailed shark and your done. siasmese algae eaters can be insanley mean too, pointless fish.
the fresh water clams are cool but often slowly starve contained by a tank as they eat micro algae and in personality to the point that they love to be in green water. But there cool they enjoy a leg. bury him halfway feeding hole up.
or will him on the surface, next moring he'll be dug in..funny stuff.
I hate snails..the apple is ok but he can seize softball size so be prepared.
Pearl gouramies like blues can be very mean aswell.beware
One pleco per cistern is the best option aswell..2 will limit stocking due to huge bio-loads..
Fan shrimp rock.
You can tell Marcus and I enjoy been down the same path.
I have a 46 bow up and running empty over a month until i found my first fish.
Congrats on such a nice tank..75 gallons is sweet enjoy!!
