Got a spare 55 gallon....

[acea091489]

I have a spare 55g that just got done cycling, and I need some help with stocking. I have no idea what fish to put in to it.

I already have all of the following fish, and do not want any more of them.

• livebearers
• african cichlids
• plecos
• angelfish
• barbs
• snails

I do not want just 1 fish. Any suggestions will help. I am just not sure on what to stock this tank with.

thanks.

Plan to upgrade if you get the clown loaches.
I would personally go a planted tank, tiger barbs, a few bn's, and a pair ( Or maybe two? ) Butterfly rams.

How about a pair of salvini cichlids?

How about some Central American cichlids? I really like Thorichtys species (the firemouth is by far the most common, but there are some much more attractive species if you look around) and there are quite a few other medium sized cichlids you could add to do a nice semi-aggressive community

I hope it was sarcasm.

You could always try the fancy goldfish. A lot of strains pose a challenge for you.
