Anything while small but once stuff starts getting big you may have to cut down depending on if your filters and water changes can handle the bio load. Stock it how you want cause everyone has a different idea on what you should buy and how you should stock. I know I didn't get into the hobby to be told what to get lol
Yeh i know what you mean man, however the last thing i want to do is get some fish then 1 week 1 month 1 year down the line...they die or keep growing and growing thats all ...this is what i had in mind:
1 chocolate cichlid
3 urua cichlid
2 severum ( 1 G and 1 N)
1 sailfin pleco
1 angle fish
1 fire mouth
1 blue acara
4 rocket gar
1 sengal bichir
1 ornate bichir
1 nile bichir
4 pearl cichlid
1 giant gourami
1 syno hyprid
1 fire eel? ..i know they get pretty big tho
And thats what i have thought of so far any suggestions? Thank you
Them polypterus get good size and will probably eat some of them fish off. That sailfin pleco will get good size also and crap a lot... you may want to think of a smaller one to get.
So everything else could work? Even the fire eel and giant gourami? Ah okay well i have 2 bristlenose plecos in my 55 now so would they be okay? And what fish could the polys get?
The Giant Gourami may be a issue due to the size when mature.
Thats what i thought whats the next biggest in term of gouramis? The kissing gourami, snakeskin gourami? Thanks
I'd say that's really heavy stocking. Stuff like senegal bichirs and angelfish will get eaten by a large lower jaw bichir.
Thin out that stocking a bit and it may be a bit easier
