so would a mid-devil be fine for a 55 as a wet pet or a flower horn?

There are other cichlids in the new world group apart from midevils and fh's that would work in a 55. Just because you dont have a 100+ doesn't mean you can't do NW. To be honest a lot of haps get just as "long" as the NW bunch.
How about a Firemouth, Salvini, or Aequidens, Convicts or Apistpgrammas the list goes on.
yes, i didnt say they would stay in there long term... *grow out*, but now debating just doing a hap tank. got a few single haps in my other 55, then add more haps.Yesterday you're telling another member that he needs a minumum of 75G for his flowerhorn, today you're thinking about putting one in a 55G
Sorry dude, couldn't help it.
A 55 would be a sweet hap tank though.
yes, but what puffer would do good? if i went that route, wouldnt want a small one.
