Help with a 55 gallon

[608004]

I have a 55 gallon tank with only some random tetras and a giant rainbow shark that eats everything. I was wondering what I could put in this tank. I can take out all the fish in there now, so I can start from scratch. Thanks.

why not keep the shark =D I love my rainbow shark, I have a Jack dempsey and they get along fine, have you thought about a Jack Dempsey? Buetiful fish, get pretty large but should be fine for along time.

I would keep the shark and try some schooling fish that are tougher then tetras like barbs.

what kind of fish are you interested in?

my old rainbow shark was tough as nails, i reckon a jd would go great with it.

okay i had the same exact problem in my 55g my 2 inch rainbow shark ate everything so i restocked it here is my stock list:
55g:
1 rainbow shark
2 blood parrot(very fun they both share a cave with the shark lol)
3 tinfoil barbs(like 2inchers but they will need a lil bigger tank later on)
1 really small oscar i got it for free so yeah my friend breeds them and i always get the extra one)
3 great danios
2 panda barbs(idk but thats what the lfs calls them)
2 small clown loaches
and a 5inch jiardini arowana



ps:no one yell at me and tell me my tank is over stocked i am 14 and i now that it is overstocked but i have a small budget and plan on getting a 125+ tank in the next couple months so yeah

That Jardini is going to need a tank thats about 30 inches wide, a 125 isnt wide enough. Plus once it hits 8 inches+ its going to become a killer and will most likely slaughter everything you have...


Im just telling you know so you dont learn the hard way...
