What size tank?

 

[Fishdude401]

Oh yeah, 55g but depending which fish i would get i would upgrade accordingly, with the second choice, i would upgrade after a year, no questions. for the odo i would let him grow, they take a long time to grow big. for the CK and fire eel choice after like 2 years or something and the jags 1 year

Choice 1: would work for awhile

Choice 2: You would need to upgrade in a couple months and the midas will probably go on a killing spree.

Choice 3: You'll have to upgrade in less than a year, if you manage to find a pair.

Choice 4: You ever seen how large clown knifes grow? Cut the ck, pleco (which i assume is a common), an con and it would work for a year depended at which size you buy the eel.

I would personally recommend getting a single lone barred midas and upgrade him to a 125g once he reaches 8 inches.

Also, try to avoid all caps in the title.

But dont you think with so many fish he wouldnt be able to? Why no caps? against the rules?

I say buy the new tank first then decide, or else youre going to just have lots of problems and most likley losses.

With the Midas? Trust me he'll relentlessly beat anything to death. Especially in such a small tank.

Hey midas madness, lets put everything behind us, ok? And i appreciate advice, not criticism. And all the fish would be bought as babies, would this stock work better?
1 midas
2 red terrors
1 green terror
1 Flower horn
dithers

Id have to agree, all the options listed are going to get wayyy too big for a 55. Just suck it up, buy a 100 plus and then itll be so much better. 55 is wayy too cramped. I have 1/3 of that in a 90 and I feel as tho I could always use more.

FH, midas and 3 terrors in a 55? I mean if they are an inch thatd work, but look at the big picture, theres no way that that would work in a 55 for close to a yr. Midas and FH grow so fast, and depending on their personality can be wayy to aggressive for a community. Thats why many here have One FH or Midas per tank, solo. Good luck
