I need a bigger tank

[MinnowMagnet]

I currrently have a 6" warmouth, 6" Bluegill, 6" green sunfish, 7"spotted pike, 6" needlenose gar, 5" bluegill, 7" yellow bullhead, 5" largemouth bass and a 3" peacock all in a 55 gallon. If i can get enough people to say i need a bigger tank like a 200-400 gallon to house these fish i might be able to get my mom to let me get one, so post here if you agree i need a bigger tank, i know these fish are over crowded so keep the flaming to a minimum.

you definitely do

absolutely! 55 is not large to hold any on those fish singly never mind together!

Yes. And IMO cramming all the fsih in the tank to try to get a bigger tank is irresponsible. I am 14 with very strict parents, it took a full year of "earning" to get a mere 30 gallon, so I understand... but don't put the fish at risk. And with the Largemouth Bass, and Peacock, I assume a Cichla, even a 400 would be a bit tight.

all these fish started out as fry under 1 inch and some were given to me and my friend dumped the peacock on me, it is a mono. Btw, what idiot voted that those fish are fine in a 55?

oh, i forgot to mention there is also a 5" whaite crappie in that tank too.

Is it just me or was the title of this thread "Do I need a bigger tank?" and is now " I need a bigger tank"

Regardless, fish grow, and you should have expected them to get bigger than 1" fry and outgrow a 55.

hey, when i got these i knew they would get big and had a bigger tank planned for them.

Well i didnt but that could be turned around to say what idiot kept all those fish in a 55 in the first place
