You could add some of these: other peaceful cichlids (like a angelfish), corydoras, a pleco (like a BN), maybe some hatchet fish...the list goes on Do you want cichilds? Maybe you could get a pair of convicts. Or some african cichlids. I'm partial to the South American setup. HTH Last edited by Solublefish at 25-Sep-2004 10:53

I suggest you go to your LFS with a piece of paper, and write down anything else you're really interested in. Then maybe we could help you plan out your stocking list from there.

chris1017 Fish Addict Posts: 610 Kudos: 421 Votes: 70 Registered: 09-Sep-2003	it's tough, i am planning on a planted 75usg discus tank in the near future and i already have a tank with electric yellow's(african) and a breeding pair of kribs, so my list of wants is growing short. i really wanted to do angels but is the tank tall enough for angels and would there be enough territory for a pair of rams and a pair of angles? i also like some gouramis and some barbs and tetra's. i know i want 1 group of schooling fish but not sure on the rest. chris

Angels can get mean when breeding. And be careful on barbs, i would strongly recomend not getting tigers barbs with angels or rams. Maybe cherrys but they don't look as nice as hatchets, or cardinals. And if you get hatchets get marbled, i love mine. Good Luck -Matt
