its almost time!!! the school
well its almost time to get some dithers for my 75, i really was leaning towards rummynoses but after seeing LFS's big angels, I am almost sure they wouldnt make it. I then thought about congos, but none of my fish stores carry them..
I was thinking some kind of Danios, a fish that sticks close to top.
tank is cylced, in middle of ick, so i have time before i make final say.
my list so far
2x Angels
2x Blood parrots
9x Cories
1x BN pleco
1x DG
will add 2x Rope Fish
I really like ember, flame, bloodfin tetras, but i believe some of those are fin nippers.. My gf would love a bunch of swordtails, but i believe they dont school and poop like crazy.
I did want a big school, but i think a school of 5 and 5 would be nice, idk everything just jumps at me.

5 is not anywhere close to a school & IME bloodfins are not nippy.
My GF calls me insincere... I pretend to care.

Bloodfins are definitely not nippers nor are Flame Tetras. Embers stay very small, under 1".

One of my favorites and a very hardy tetra.

You have 75 gal right? Why can't you have two schools? Or even more.

Right on, It's a 75. Stock it like a 75. Stock schools numbering in the teens and 20s.
