I'm setting up a new 55 gallon tank and wanted some ideas on stocking (after it's been cycled of course). I don't want African cichlids. Could be community or aggressive.
55 gallon stocking

My 55 gallon has changed a couple times, here are some things I've done:
Cyprinid Biotope
4 Gold barbs
4 Roseline sharks
5 Odessa barbs
3 Arulius barbs
This was a pretty neat little community
Wet Pet Tank
1 - Gulper Cat or 1 - Wolfish or 1 - other predatory fish
My current tank
5 - Geo RH Tapajos
1 - L200 Pleco

How well did the wolffish do? I figured they would need a larger tank. Very cool fish always wanted one

Depends on the species of wolf. Reds,purple, white can be kept in a 55g solo for life. Need a bigger footprint for tankmates. Need big tank mates for them. Commons and larger need 150g+ depending on species. The nature of the fish will determine tank-mates. But usually the bigger the fish than the wolf. The less likely it will kill it without itself getting eaten.

Like kno4te said, reds will stay small around 8". Wolfish in general seem to be pretty sedentary until it's hunting time.
