Max # of Polys in a Standard 55

[BichirAddict]

Right now I have a standard 55 with
1 Ropefish 9"
1 Senegal 8"
1 Tiger Loach(Not a pernament resident)
I have a Aqua Clear 70 and a Wisper In Tank 20i Filter.
Maybe getting another Filter if I need it.
Questions I have are
What is the max number of polys I could house?
Would 4 be out of reason?
I want to add a delhezi for sure and will be ordering hopefully tomorrow
And possibly a Polli. Palmas.

Is it possible?

you're fine go ahead just make sure you have enough filtration.

 

[BichirAddict]

What would be the max for the smaller speices.

In a 55 thats all that I would put in it -Anne

So the finally count will be
1- Delhezi
1- Ropefish
1- Polli Palmas
1- Senegal
Thanks
for the help

In mine, I have 2 Sens, 1 Delhezi and a BGk. And that's going to be it until I upgrade to my 125G tank.

I really hate 55g's for bichir tanks because they are so narrow.

You really want 18-24" wide to be the bare minimum. When you've seen full grown bichirs in person, you have a lot more appreciation for their needs.

I want a 125 for all polys but, parents say "2 tanks is enough you're not getting anymore"

Good news is that I ordered a Delhezi Bichir today will be running me about $35-$45 depending on size.

Will be in in about 2 weeks.

I remember those days

I know you'll take good care of them, you're very enthusiastic so, best of luck with them! Can't wait to see pics of the new one!

Yeah I'm on the prowl for a used 125G tank, for my Bichir's forever home, but not having much luck...
