I finally put together the resources to upgrade to a 75G tank. It just finished the Cycle (thanks Stability and old filter media) and have finally moved what is left of my clown herd into it. I used to have 4, but due to a recent vacation-power-outage problem, I am down to two.
Once these fish acclimate themselves, and the tank to them, I plan on adding some more clowns. I currently have just the two clowns and 5 tiger barbs. Can anyone suggest any other dither fish to go along with the clowns and barbs?
I plan to use this tank for a few years until our basement remodel is complete. At that point, I want to upgrade to a larger tank, something over 200 gallons. I'd rather not put something that large upstairs and worry about structural instability!

Please don't laugh at the Pirate Ship. It's my daugher's favorite part, and really, the clowns love to hide inside. I'm working on getting some better pictures of the fish themselves, but I'm having problems getting decent photos.
It is currently running a Fluval FX5 and I have to say I honestly love it. It's so easy to use and clean, it's super quiet, and wow, I never knew clowns loved the current so much! I also have a small Eheim aquaball doing a bit of extra polishing, as well as adding some extra agitation to the one side.
Please, any comments, good or bad, are welcome.
