Looking to make addition(s) to my 75 gallon fish tank. Right now I have 2 plecos, 2 leaf fish, 2 goby's, and an african butterfly fish.wondering what if anything I should get? It sounds crowded but its not at all and water has always been right on dot as i clean very often. The butterfly fish only stays on very top, gobys of course on the bottom, and the plecos and leaf fish roam around aimlessly and slowly. There is ample room for bottom dwellers and also room in the middle. I need to stay away from top of tank fish as i dont trust the butterfly. Any suggestions? I was wondering if crawdads would be ok? I used to have them and loved them. The only fish they could get to is the goby's and there much larger than crawdads so didnt know if they'd be suitable or not. I've had loaches, cory cats, glass cats, rainbow sharks, livebearers, and danios so I wanted to try somebody new out. Looking at probably 2-3" fish to make sure there safe from leaf fish and butterfly. Let me know what you guys think.

High backed headstander, Congo tetra, Siver Dollars, larger Rainbowfish or perhaps some of the barb varieties may be suitable. I would stay away from the crayfish. They will take down fish in a tank, even big fish. I've known them to take down fully grown oscars & even a 45cm Red Terror. They hunt at night when your fish can't see quite as well & they can inflict horrific injuries even if they don't manage to get the fish dinner they were after. You will find that your fish always have shredded fins from close calls & it will only be a matter of time until either serious injury or death is caused.

K thanks for heads up on crawdads, used to have them by their selves and knew they are aggressive just didn't know how much. Headstanders is a terrific idea! My LFS just got some in last week, first time ever saw them here so I will definitely look into those, thanks!
