Well here's a kinda-sorta picture of the Shape for the tank.

It dosen't look exactly like that, it's just to give you an idea. That is a "top view" because I'm not sure how to do a "front view" so yeah lol

What would you stock a 95 Gal tank with?

I want Cichlids and some community fish.

10G- 6 Zebra Danios, 1 Upside Down Catfish
20G- 1 Goldfish
72G(maybe95)- Need Stock suggestions

Good "community" cichlids include keyhole cichlids and festiviums (maybe not together, though) You could possibly get away with some more aggressive cichlids like firemouths, but it depends on what you want for your community fish. With cichlids, something hardy and not too small would be ideal. A large group of 20 or so black skirt tetras would be fantastic. Or you could go with a more boistrous grouping and get tiger or odessa barbs or something. What kind of bottom feeders do you like? Are you a cory cat or loach person? Or maybe you like plecos or catfish? A pictus cat or syno cats would be nice in a tank that big, or a large group of corys, or even the larger brochis would be cool.

Also, how do you plan to decorate your tank? Planted, semi-planted, plastic plants? The neat shape of the tank might offer you some interesting aquascaping choices. My personal favorite aquascaping choice lately is lots of bogwood covered in lots of anubias. It's super easy to care for, doesn't require a lot of light, and even digging fish can't move it around if it's secured well to the wood. Some rockwork with caves for the cichlids would be nice, too.

Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

You may want to look into my personal favorite fish... the double trunk elephant nose. They tend to get along with less aggressive cichlids, and the only thing you have to worry about with them is their mild elctric current. They can fry smaller fish but wont touch bigger fish unless provoked. Even then a large fish can easy survive the shock. I'd atleast look up some info on these guys. They can provide HOURS of entertainment.

Maybe some electric yellows and blues and possibly a jack dempsey??

Yup. I'm that crazy Twilight/animal/music girl

mm, I thought about the Electric yellows, I almost got them before for a different tank then decided not to...

I'm a loach person but I like cories. I find them quite cute(but I like clowns too) -to- illustrae

95 gallons... The possibilities are endless ^^

I personally prefer one of these two setups:

2x Male Colbolt Blue Zebras
4x Female Colbolt Blue Zebras
2x Albino Zebras (1 M, 1 F)
2x Orenge/Red Zebras (1 M, 1 F)
4x Female Snowwhite Mbuna
4x Blueberry Mbuna (2M, 2F)
3x Rubberlipped Pleco or 1x Rapheal catfish


-OR You Could do this type of community-
2x Koi/Marble Viel-tail Angelfish
2x Blue Rams
12x Black Phantom Tetras
8x Cherry Barbs or other community fish that averages 2" + each (Barbs, Tetras, Mollies, ect)
1x African Butterfly Fish (neat addition) or 6x Hatchetfish
15x Panda Cories

Inky

Wow Great List there Inky! I will probably look into that one the most but I love ALL THE IDEAS! I hate that I'll have to choose. If only I had like 10 95Gal tanks! lol Then I could have all the e-val fishies
