I currently have a 75G tank. I'm trying to decide whether this is sufficient, or whether I need to go larger- perhaps to a 90G.

The stock would be:

2 angelfish
1 festivum
4 geos pindare
1 a. heckelii
2 ancistrus (small variety, stays under 4 inches)

plus

1 or 2 of the following groups: 8 m. praecox, 7 m. boesemani, 8 pristella tetra, 8 black phantom tetra, 5 dalmation mollies

1 or 2 of the following groups: 8 corydoras aeneus, 8 corydoras sterbai


Is a 75G sufficient? Do I need to upgrade? If so, will a 90G be enough?

Advice on which and how many of the groups of fish listed under the cichlids/ancistrus, would also be welcome.

Thanks!
 
75g should be fine imo if you go the tetra route. Just watch out for the heckii cuz I've heard they can get a mean streak
 
Thanks for the response.

I've read the same about A. Heckelii, but fortunately, mine seems to be close to the bottom of the pecking order giving me more flexibility. If he gets out of hand, the back-up plan would be to put him in with my O instead.
 
personally, i say go with the biggest tank you can afford and have room for, but that's just what i always do and so far no regrets, always wanting a bigger one.
