75 Gallon Stock Ideas

[D21right]

Well I was doing some snooping the other day and My Mom bought me a 75 Gallon tank for what looks like Christmas. I currently have a 40 Gallon with my a Pair of Cons (Who have Just been separated) 2 extra females and 1 Blood Parrot. The female from the pair had to be separated because she was trying to eat the babies and my Male was not having it. I planned to move the Cons to the new tank but I kind of would like to add something else. I feel like my tank needs more variety. But What?? Any Ideas and Suggestions would be more than welcome. Thank You In Advance.

I would do a community of small CAs. I would look into the Thorichthys and Cryptoheros species and choose 2-3 species. A group of swordtails(wild if you can find them) along with some Brochis catfish and a few small Peckolita plecos would make for an awesome display. Especially if you kept it sparsely planted with a heavy wood/rock theme. :22:

So you are now stocking the tank that is to be a surprise already? LOL
Just where does a person hide a 75 gallon tank?

Lol yea kind of funny, but as of right now Im overstocked in my 40 gallon so I will just wait until I get it going and then stock it a little after Christmas. But my Mom had it hidden in my Brothers old room since I never really go in it but my brother asked me to get him something out of there so when I looked in his walk in closet it was sitting in the way back with a black comforter on top of it, I just peaked under it and saw it was a fish tank with filters and stuff so I grabbed what I needed and left and kind of acting like I forgot about it but its still hard to forget knowing its something I wanted. LOL Im just happy she got it.

Make sure you stock something extra special for your folks to open when present time comes around. Work a few extra hours if need be to show them how much you appreciate them.
