55 gallon?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
So would a 55 with a full grown convict and Jack Dempsey be stocked? Or could I add something else?
 
I live no where near Utica. :( would a 55 gallon with a full grown con and JD be fully stocked? Or could I possibly add a red tailed shark?
 
You could add some of these cichlids considering they are smaller: Firemouth, Jewel cichlid, Rainbow cichlid, Some of the Smaller Acaras like blue acara or yellow acara, Salvini, festivum, Sajica, Keyhole etc

Maybe like any three of these in addition to your Convict.
 
So:
1 convict
1 firemouth
1 red tailed shark
1 TBD bottom dweller
Does that sound good?
 
Remember that a 55 is only 12 iches front to back so you want fish that will be able to turn without problems. JD's are iffy especially with other fish cuz they can be viscious

Sounds good, but I would drop the red tailed shark and add another cichlid in its place. But if you insist one wanting it thats fine. You probably could add another smaller cichlid with these choices anyway. For a bottom dweller, make sure its not too large. Like 4-8 inch range is what you should aim for.
