Im getting a 55 gallon. I wanted to eaiter put in 2 dempseys a mated pair tht im goin to raise form little. Or i want to get one red devil and some other fish if i can. Also what would be a good algae eater. IF not dempseys i want someting i can breed and is aggresive. I want a big fish for a 55 gallon.
 
lol some convicts are agressive and will breed :) i think bristlenose or rubbernose plecos should do good in that tank. regular plecos will get too big and look and feel extremely cramped in a tank that small.
 
You got to do what I am doing. 55 g. with 20-30 clown loaches. Little bit of driftwood and some small rocks. Flourite substrate.
 
well im thinking about doing one red devil wil they break the tank at all in a 55 gallon. How heavy does there have to be hiding places.
 
20-30 clown loaches? sounds like a lot, i dont even think a full grown clown loach could fit in a 55 i could be wrong. but sounds cool are you putting anything else in there?
