55 Gallon Stocking Help

[cmsbthebest]

55 with red head tapajos geophagus is probably a bit small. I guess you could put 1-3 in there, but they like to be in groups of 5+, especially as juveniles.

If you were to grow up a group in a 100+ and got a pair, you could put them in a 55, but I wouldn't start in a 55.

Ahh. Okay! Thanks! Do you guys think Incould get one of those breeder boxes and net some fry, and raise them in their?

 

[The Masked Shadow]

Okay guys! My stock as of now:

1 Delhezi Bichir
5 Keyhole Cichlids
4 Leaf Fish

I had a long PM with kno4te . At the end, we decided this would be good. I may scale the Cichlids and Leaf Fishes back just because of the amount of waste, but this is what I have! Thoughts?

sounds like a fun little tank but might have to upgrade with the eventual size of the del mine are only about 5-6 months old and already 7 inches

 

[The Masked Shadow]

I think I will sell the Del later or upgrade too

I have now changed my mind as a result of the water changes.
1 Delhezi
A pair of Keyhole Cichlids

Any info about keeping keyhole cichlids than the obvious?

When I had keyholes, they seem to be easily stressed, slow growers, and will graze on algae.

they seem to be easily stressed

Huh. The internet seems to say likewise. Algae eh? That is odd.

Thanks!

Anyone else?

 

[The Masked Shadow]

Ok, so, I think I got my stock list!

1 Delhezi Bichir
2 Leopard Ctenopama (most likely a pair)

I would likely promote breeding, but wouldn’t really care. Getting my fish here; petzonesd.com
