Does anyone know where to get blood parrots for an inexpensive price? They're about $20 at my lfs.

Maybe some small africans.

You Could do like 2 Blue Rams Couple sevrums and and a color full Pleco Gold nugget 1??

 

[Adam-011]

at my lfs they are like 15 i think

I would do...

1 JD
1 Con
1 Firemouth
1 Severum (not a BP fan)

You are right on the Oscar. Unless you want that to be your only fish then a 55 is too small.

That sounds like a good idea. Although I might go with africans, since I've wanting to try out Upside-down catfish...
I'll just have to see

I would say do around 2 firemouths, 2 convicts, 6-8 mollies or swordtails, a bristlenose pleco, and maybe a leporinus.
