I think those will be well rounded for that tank.

Thanks for the reply Acid
come and chat for a bit, stop lurkin the boards.

I think you'd be all right with those fish. You have strong filtration, and live plants, which will help with the cleanup. Your algae will be eaten, and leftover food, as well. I'd say you should have a pretty easy time with that tank.

Someone needs to give the compatability feature a rehaul. from my above list with out apisto cacs included this is what i got from it lol.
( for those that do not know, you can select 10 species in your tank to find out if they are compatible )

almost the entire list says beware, territorial/agresive fish with peacful fish or icompatible. just thought i would point that out

I think the main ones you should be concerned with are the rtbs with rams and the cardinals with angels and rtbs.

Really think a RTBS would be agressive to rams with all that space in the tank? i could add him after the rams to maybe help matters.

GET THAT GIBBY A POND, MAN.
Otherwise, I'd pass on either the gouramis (swap for pearls), and the RTBS---they may be a bit rowdy, and the space costraints on the bottom due to the gibbiceps are tight.

you know when i first got my gibby no one had a problem with him in a 75g, it wa shalf the reason i got a 75 and not a 55. when did gibbys become an issue in a 75g tank i dont understand? hes completly happy in my tank. sleeps all day and comes out at night to feed on algae talets. this sites profile on gibby is over rated. the measurement they give is in the wild and from i gather they only grow to a foot maybe even under that.

If by a foot you mean 19.6 inches long, then yes. The site's profile is suprisingly correct (just kidding, mods. Don't ban. I love you.). The largest gibby ever caught was indeed 50 cm long. In the aquarium, they may only get 14-16 inches in length, but that's stil more than your 75 can handle
