55g stocking list ....

..... Ahhh crap, here we go again .....


.... Yeah I bet everyone is tired of these threads so I'm sorry


At the moment the biggest tank I have is a 55 and it will be the biggest for awhile .... I have too many hobbies and don't want a divorce at the moment.


I've done the Africans but now I wanna try the CA/SA type.


I don't want only one fish so your opinions on a decent community tank would be helpfull. Someone told me to look at Chocolate Cichlids so I'll be looking into those real soon. I want some fish with personality and fun to watch during feeding time. I loooove how Oscars respond to their owner .... but 55 is really to small for them ... and I don't want to do water changes every third hour .


Any ideas .... except than getting a larger tank.

Or you could read that link I showed you, lots of great options for one big single fish.

If you want smaller fish you could do a couple same sex cons, a couple same sex firemouths, and either a JD or a GT. That would get you 5 fish that could work in a 55 if you have good filtration and maintain.
