75 gallon bow front build suggestions

Hiya people

I’ve just bought a 280L bow front tank and have kept tropical freshwater fish for several years now in a similar sized tank (mainly Congo tetras, rainbow fish, rams, various cats and some small-mid sized cichlids) and have found a new spot where the tank will be prominently in view and would love suggestions on stocking.
I’m set on having a silica sand bottom but am open to any ways you guys think I should stock/ decorate the tank.

most of the fish I’ve kept in the past have been somewhat cryptic and not very showy but now I would love a tank that really shows off the fish.

Any suggestions as to what fish I should stock or how I could decorate would be greatly appreciated.
When completed I’ll post pictures of tank and the stock I choose off any suggestions.
Thanks a ton!

 

Showy, flashy fish? A school of boesmanI rainbows would be pretty flashy, along with some other smaller rainbow species...


Alternatively could go with an entire tank full of tiger barbs.

 

A big betta splenda community.

That would only be able to have a single male with a big ol harem right?

 

Ummmm. Whats recommended or what's possible? Dont tell anyone but I have 3 males with 16 females in a 55 gallon.

Hehehe I love it. Can any other species be kept with them? (Like KhulI loaches, killifish or cherry barbs)

 

Since you've already kept Rainbows, Tetras, Dwarf & mid sized Cichlids, maybe an African Rift Mbuna community. A 75 gal. is a good size for Mbuna. Aquascaping is easy, (Rock piles).

I went conservative and have a school of glowlight tetras and a shoal of emerald cories with them. I started with baby betta from petco and have lots of line of sight breaks. Other then longer fins the females are justcas colorful and much more active. The males werent put in on purpose. Thet were all bought as baby girls but apparently they are as I am at sexing the little ones.
