most beastly/ kick@$$ fish for a 55g?

I have to concur with the exodons, they are a lively and fascinating display

Malapterurus electricus, Electric Catfish.
Ugly, Big, Mean, Hungry.........very satisfying!

They will grow on you, figuratively and literally

I have two large ones, want one? PM me.

a friend of mine has 1, they're really cool. but i think i'm going to go the cichlid route again and i like manguanese. how long could i house 1 in that tank for?

I'm not a huge fan of exodons, but I can't lie, that is cool!

55 is way too small for a managuense

Get a Bullrout

Too small for a jag, if you're thinking that way try to get a grammodes.

I would do the e-cat though, they're crazy.

i like the idea of a bgk as well. i'm going to the lfs today so maybe they have some. woudl a couple of firmouths, nicarraguanese or severums work w/ the bgk? i also still have my angels so maybe i could keep the angels and get a severum w/ the bgk

i managed sevs and angels short term together. when both were about 3"
adults i guess depending on individuals.
ive had a really placid severum. and i had a female that went for blood from your hand. most aggresive severum ive ever seen =P
if you got them all small and grew them on possibly.

ive had a BGK it just dissapeared. such a boring fish i never saw it ever again. waste of money.

bkgs are awesome as long as u have some sort of hiding place for it where you can easily see it too. and maybe a school of other fish for some activity. just dont have a hiding place for it where you cant see it. thats why people mistake them as a "waste of money" its because they dont know how to set up a tank so they can see them
