Great channel! I just recently re-homed a 75 gallon setup that a neighbor was selling for cheap. I have a 20 gallon and a 10 gallon so I am new to the larger tank world. The current inhabitants are a common pleco, krib, and an angelfish. My wife wants a nice peaceful tank with a wide variety of fish. I don’t know what is an appropriate stocking amount and after some research, we were thinking to add: 1 severum, 1 electric blue Acara, 2 Bolivian rams, 1 pearl Guarami a Geophagus, and maybe another krib to make a breeding pair. I am looking for feedback on if that is an appropriate stocking plan, is that to much, can I get more, maybe another Severum? Would any of these be incompatible? Thank you as I am trying to learn what is best for my new 75 gallon.
