what about oscar

 

[dudey]

I had 6 tiny tiny (about a nickel size) red bellys in a 55g for about a month now. They have grown so freaking fast. I already regret not going with only 3 or 4. I am already starting to look for a bigger tank, every though my landlord only okayed my 29g...

 

[dudey]

as far as tank mates there is a good sticky on this forum about that. I like shrimp in my tank. Ghost shrimp are cheap (like a quarter) and help clean uneaten food. If they get chomped you can easily replace them. Plecos will last for a while but will eventually get eaten.

If you do get an oscar and he survives the P's not eating him he will eventually outgrow your tank. He will probably end up being the P's snack at one point or another or will continuously be nipped.

so 55 with 3 rbp

too small for life but should be fine for a growout

what is good for life

 

[andres]

A 55 is fine for life for 2 reds. If you want more
75g: 4-5
100g: 6-7
150g: 10
Most people say less than what I would.. If your lazy, get less.

add another one..3 in a 55 might be pushing it, but with enough or over-filtration, they'll do fine.
