Aggression in a 50gal please

[altimaser]

I have Exodons, they are very interesting to watch. How about a solitary Piranha like an Elong or Sanchezi. They can be very aggressive, and live in a 55 gallon for life.

Personally i think Bichirs are pretty cool.
not sure if a 50g is enough for one but it maye be possible.
just something to look into.
Myself i would go with JD's.

I want to grow plants have the designs for the tank drawn up and ready so big cichlids would dig the plants up wouldnt they? was really considering a baby dat and using the tank as a growout, opinions?

For a 55, I'd recommend a Green Terror. If you want a showier one, find a Royal Green Terror as it has more red trim on the fins.

if i was to get a baby dat as a solo specimen how slow do they grow as id only keep it in there till it was 8-9'' buying at 3-4'' if i can. how long would i have before looking at upgrading

 

[jonahonah]

Probably a dozen.

if i went with exodons is there anything i could put in with them for the bottom of the tank, would that have to go in first so it isnt seen as food?
