A 75 would be great for a pair of fancies. Fancies can get up to 10" body length, so a big tank like that would be perfect.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Beautiful Goldfish!

Goldfish were my first fish obsession ever since I was a kid. In a lot of ways the puffers and goldfish have a lot in common in regards to personality and intelligence (despite the common myths surrounding goldfish) which is why I think I have become so drawn to the puffers as well.

It doesn't look like they are. I do have 3 sailfin mollies who look to be picking at them.

Gonna have to be survival of the fittest in that tank. No room for more tanks here.
