my 55Gal has a 6-7" blood parrot, a 3.5" RD, a 2.5" blood parrot, a 5" syno.(fether fin), A 4" spotted pictus. I want changes made, but don't have much cash or time. heres my plan.
1. get rid of red devil
2. remove gravel, and ugf
3. put black paper on all none-visible sides, to bring out color
4. add 3" choc. pleco
5. Because the only main fish left will be 2 Bp, change it to community by adding Giant danios, and through in a few regulars as scapegoats (or an african butterfly), some large silver dallars, some dwarf gouramis (Definately striped, mabe a few sunsets), a few blues/golds, maybe some pearls, some mid dwelling tetra (so everything isn't completely slow), and mabe some yoyo loach or cories
6. get specialty lights if i can afford them.

Got any promlems or conserns with my plan? let me know.;)
 
What kind of filtration are you planning to replace the ug filter. I have seen some blood parrots over 10" so if yours reach that size be prepaired to rehome them. Definitely get rid of the RD when he gets larger he'll make it so he's the only one in the tank. I think with the 2 BPs and the 2 cats you are already pretty well stocked maybe add some danios but not much else.
