My best tanks ever had a mixture of African Cichlads and South And Central American Cichlads.The key is too overcrowd aggressive fish so that no 1 is picked on for long.Add live plants and the best lighting available and feed them color-enhancing food and enjoy the action.

Considering the space you are providing, you should probably only do one fish around 10-20 inches, with some dithers (i.e. schooling fish- silver dollars, giant danios, etc.). Some good solo fish are Red Devils, Midas Cichlid, Oscars, Trimaculatus, Red Terrors and Flowerhorns. All these will generally stay around 15 inches give or take a few, and are typically owner-interactive. Anything bigger I would not suggest as you would just have to get a bigger tank. Your other option is to go with a pair of fish that don't get quite so big. Jack Dempseys, Green Terrors, and Texas Cichlids stay a little closer to 10 inches, females usually a little smaller. A mated pair of fish is always interesting. None of these fish are really 'rare', but brilliant and fascinating nontheless. Good luck.

I work with arowanas and new world cichlids. While an arowana will outgrow a 75 gallon, some cool looking fishes are African butterfly fish. These fishes are small, but cool looking and only take up a small area of the surface part of the tank. allowing you to add more stocking without overstocking. for the mid zone in the tank, i would try some peter's elepant nose. These fishes look oddballish and will not outgrow your tank.

I have a Clown Knife fish and two Oscars. The knife fish is 14 inches and the oscars are about 8 inches.

The melting component of water at a million atmosphere of stress is somewhat on the threshold of 0 °C (32 °F, 273.c4ca4238a0b92382dcc509a6f75849b5 ok), and interior the presence of nucleating components the freezing component of water is on the threshold of the melting component, yet interior the absence of nucleators water can supercool to ?40 two °C (?40 3.6 °F, 23c4ca4238a0b92382dcc509a6f75849b ok) before freezing. below intense stress (2,000 atmospheres) water will supercool to as low as ?70°C (?ninety 4°F, 203 ok) before freezing[a million]. Nucleating components are minute impurities interior the water or on the exterior of the field, or bubbles that initiate off the crystallization technique.

Sand bottom, live plants. Discus fish with German blue rams and a freshwater stingray. Go.

It is a very interesting bottom deweller, and some folks give it a glass lamp to hide.

Get an Oscar--also called cichlid--they get really big and are really neat--but only get one or get several
