75 gallon community

What are the possibilities? I am probably going to get one from a friend who recently upgraded to a 150 gallon.

Oh and in my 12 gallon I have some guppies, swordtail mollies, cories and otos so whatever I get will have to get along with this.

Rasboras, plecos, pentazona barbs, kuhli loaches, hara hara catfish, apistos, rams and keyholes.

What kind of pleco?
Right now split between a 10 and 12 gallon I have:
2 guppies
1 dwarf gourami
1 balloon molly
1 swordtail
2 oto
1 bronze cory, 1 albino cory, 1 spotted cory
1 mystery snail
some platy and molly fry

Could I add
3 more otos
2 angelfish?
2 more of each type of cory I have
5 khuli loaches
2 german blue rams
10 harliquin rasboras (or some other type of schooling fish)

Would this be fully stocked? If not what are some common types of fish (danios/tetras) that I could add?

The others on your list I don't think my LFS has...

As for pleco, try ancistrus, Panaque maccus or Sturisoma. Look at planetcatfish.com for some small species of Hypancistrus.

I will keep the guppies in the 12 with my african dwarf frog because I really want the angels. Is everything else ok? How would x-ray tetras do? I will try really hard to find a smaller pleco. I believe all petsmart has are albino, commons, and rubberlip. I will try the other smaller petstore in town though too. Thanks for all the help!

Take some time on the planetpleco web site. I did some homework and ended up finding a smaller pleco for $15 when to buy him online it was $35 plus $40 shipping. The lfs just didn't know what they had!
