CA/SA DONATED 55 GALLON STOCKING

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
im not sure if there are any geos that stay small enough to have a proper school in a 55g, def not altifrons they get too big, i think your best bet would be maybe red heads or something, i think they only get 8in... gymnos stay smaller and are still great looking fish and you could even keep them without a heater, since its going to be at a church might be nice to have it as low maintenance as possible... personally i would do like a big male severum and a bunch of tetras with a few pictus or some other cat on the bottom
 
I ended up getting 2 x Blood Parrots & 2 x Jewel Cichlids... Next week I will get some bottom feeders... I'm thinking about a clown loach school, a pictus, or some red-tail sharks
 
i think red tail sharks have to be kept singularly as adults but im not sure on that (as in not with other red tail sharks) and clown loaches would get to get (granted they would take forever to grow that large but they will) personally i would go for the pictus, i have two in my tank and they are quite active (usually should be kept singularly or in groups of 3 or more, but mine have killed several smaller pictus i have tried to add with them so apparently mine want to be just the two of them lol
 
Lol I use to have to have pictus in my own tanks but clown loaches look so nice and are active as well. 3 loaches would be fine for a couple of year in a 55. They grow so slow!
 
dont get convicts in my opinion they suck cuz anybody can breed them and there is nothing special about them, but did you think about a school of cory cats, also use sand as a bottom substrate
 
I used sand as the substrate and stocked it with 2 Blood Parrots & 2 Jewel Cichlids. Now I'm trying to decide on a bottom feed. The bottom feeders I have in mind are red-tailed sharks, clown loaches, pictus cats, cory cats.
 
i think a school of clown loaches or cory cats is good looking
