[Reptilesfishbirdsmammals]

Ok so i have a 55G for a bit now in my garage and im just on the edge for me moving out this desktop for a laptop so i can put it in my room once i wash it out with a warm water rag and dust it off but can my kissing gourami, bala sharks (grow out), and pleco go in there just fine? and if i can put more in there what would be cool to put in there?..but i feel like i should for the fact balas get pretty big so i think i might just the tank to be these 4..and oh yeah the tank is a 55 long..ill get pics sometime..

lol, I did the same thing. I am now sitting comfortably in my recliner while a 29 sits on my old desk!

How many Balas do you have? You won't have any compatibility issues with the fish listed, but the Balas are going to grow pretty big pretty fast. You can expect them to be 12" or more in a year. Sort of a rule of thumb with Balas is one per 55 gallon.

Is the Pleco a Common? If so, he's going to get big too!

I say go for it...its better to get the tank going than letting it sit in the garage, but you may want to reconsider the stock list.

Good luck!
