Cleaning crew

How many cleaning crew fish should I get for a 75 gal freshwater tank? The tank has been set up for about 3 months so it is farely well astablished. So far all I have is one catfish that will get approximately 8", he is currently about 1.5" Also, does anyone have any suggestions of what to get?

 

Catfish ' what kind is it ?

 

Striped Raphael Catfish

 

get some corydoras, a pleco, and some chinise algae eaters. Look ino ghost shrimp and snails.

 

How many should I have of each for a 75 gallon tank?

 

At least 5 r 6 corydoras, 1 pleco (they get about 1 3/4 long) and aybe5 chinise algae eaters.

 

I wouldnt do shirmps with raphael cats. They will become lunch ;p

the mix will depend on what kinds of main fish you wish to keep.

 

The main fish are a mix of many different kinds of community fish. Some are semi aggressive, but most are not. What should my cleaning crew consist of? Again all I have so far is a rafael cat.

 

I would focus on things like corys and chinese algae eaters. 3-5 chinese algae eaters should do the job for a 75g tank as far as algae goes.

 

If you are dealing with a community type tank, I highly recommend the Cories. I have a Albino, Spotted, Peppered, and Panda. They really cover the bottom and keep things in check.

I made the mistake of having a peppered in with an Oscar in my other tank so I don't recommend them for a Cichlid tank.
