Alright, I need some suggestions, I would like some large fish to go into my 75g fish tank, it is planted with driftwood. I need a fish that won't uproot all my plants.. are there any out there? I also would like something eye catching.. I wish oscars would be suitable =\ Ah yes, they would have to be alright with bn plecos, all the other stock can be moved out. All suggestions appreciated, and no discus.. I am already thinking about those haha

Here's a pic:

First of all, that is one beautifully planted tank! :) The first thought that came to mind for me was: discus. :) Good luck and please do keep us posted.
 
An Angel Fish?? A large Pearl Gouramis?? A Festivum or a Urau??
 
flagtail prochilodus

Thanks! And yes, discus are certainly on my mind as well.. I just wondered what else was out there that wouldn't rearrange haha I miss my oscars alot.. they were so personable, I'd love to have another big fish like that.. they just all move stuff, silly cichlids lol
 
i have green and rotkeil severums in my 100 they never mess with the plants. now the hondurans will move anything they consider in their territory
 
flagtail prochilodus
Very pretty but I don't think they would be good for my tank haha

Specifically:
Although an eyecatcher when young, the Flagtail Prochilodus soon becomes a large, hyperactive fish that is definitely one of the best jumpers of all the tropical fishes. It can leave a typical community aquarium in ruins.

I have 2 angels in there right now that I'm not very impressed with lol I know that sounds terrible.. but they just aren't doing it for me. the Gouramis I've had before, nice fish.. too common for me tho, the festivum, I like but very gourami looking, Urau.. They aren't bad, certainly great size-wise, but they really don't have any color to them when they are adults =\

Now I have checked into severums.. those interest me.. but I've heard it's really hit or miss with them if they will move plants.. this might be something to consider.. I guess if I got them small enough maybe they would just get used to it?
