55g Stocking &...

[CaspianRain]

I currently have a 30g community tank and am about to add more tanks to my home.

Right now I am looking to add a 55g, but am not sure what I want to stock it with. Can someone give me ideas?

Personally, I was thinking of having African Butterflies (but what would I put with them?) OR Cichlds

2x Albino Senegal Bichirs
2x Firemouth Cichlids
1x African Butterfly Fish
7x-10x of some nice dither like Diamond Tetras

I really like my 55g tank that has a GT, a male con, 3 pictus and 9 tiger barbs. I was trying to keep it CA/SA but the tiger barbs work really well as dither fish.

Filtered with an Emperor 400 and an AC70

spend a few extra $ and get a 75 or 125. particularly if you want cichlids. the extra few gallons and width to the tank makes a big difference in the long-run. Thats my best advise to people making the jump up to larger tank sizes.
