Empty 55

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would say its too small for multiple pygo's.I would get a small serra like a irritans(<bad ass fish) or a brandti.I think both you and either of these specimins would be happier with this choice.
 
I agree that three is max and by the time they are halfway through their second year they move to a wider tank as they should be 9-10 inches long by then. Even a single RBP will get crowded in a standard 55g around then due to the 12" width of the tank. A 50g (long) or a 65g with their 18" widths are much better and can house 3 for life but a 75g is even better.
