i have a 55 in need of stocking ideas. i should get it filled and cycling by the 15th. i dont know what to get i was thinking a fire mouth but i dont know. i dont really care what i get as long as its good for life and a lfs or petsmart has them.
 
Firemouth, Convict, Jewel Cichlid and some Tiger Barbs as dither fish. Well, ok that's what I'm going to do for my 55 gallon. Jack Dempseys would be nice or Green Terrors. A pair of firemouths would also be a good mix.
 
petsmart - 1 texas cichlid, 1 senegal bichir, 2 leopard ctenopoma andl you have room for some more lalter on
 
I would try a Oscar tank or a Green Terror tank. That would be nice, or maybe set it up like i am :D although i am VERY doubtful you'd find my list at ur lfs, i have to make special orders which is costing me a arm and a leg but its worth it:headbang2

Anyways....some ideas...
Oscar
Green Terror
Jack Dempsey's
Convict Pair (You'll have thousands in weeks, no joke:nilly: )
Angel fish
Goldfish ( :grinno: )
Guppy pair (You'll have thousands in less a week :nilly: )
Community Tank
Tiger Barbs
Cherry Barbs
Long Finned Zebra Danois
(and/or)
Normal Zebras Danios
Red-Tailed Shark ( I belive that tank is big enough, please correct me if im wrong some one)
Silver Dollars

Not all those above will fit in your 55 at once but it all depends on how you want to set this up...do you want big school fish? small school fish? a 1 big fish? a breeding pair? a bunch of small fish? a few meduim sized fish?..etc,etc.....Theres WAY to many ways people could TELL you how to set it up and what to put in it but its YOUR tank, YOU choose what you want in it... just give us some ideas on what you like the look of and we can help you more with that :)

Good Luck,
AQ
