Please don't make any attempt to use the "one inch of fish per gallon" falsehood. That methodology has always been way too disproportionate to be of any use. Consider the difference of an inch of guppy compared to an inch of oscar.

1 african butterfly fish
1 datniod
1 eel

so Ive been reading this thread and like some of you I thought the tank is way too overstocked Ive got one of the tsn x rtc cross and its about 28" anyway getting back to the subject everyday I get on this site multiple times and multiple times Ive started to post some kind of criticism but why not post something constructive instead? Its alot easier to try and help someone that doesnt know a lot about proper keeping of monsters than to go off on them and chase them out of the hobby there are too many elitist snobs in this hobby that I myself have come across that think they know everything because they read it on the internet or have a couple of tanks I have 65 tanks up and Ive got my share of monsters and Ive been keeping fish for over 20 years and yet I learn something everyday so give the kid a break sorry if Ive rambled too long but Ive got to ask the young Snook if your parents wont let you get a bigger tank any chance theyll let you set up an outdoor pond? wont have to get rid of your monsters then and theyll have room to grow just a thought although if youre in an apartment my suggestion wont work anyway good luck and dont let a couple of ignoraant putzes chase you out of the hobby one last thing do your research Mike
No I live in a perfect area to do a pond but will it get too hot and cold in Florida for a outdoor pond. Are they really expencive to start and how big should I get. And not being pushy nut I've asked like 3 times if I could have all those fish in my 55. I really want a pond but dint know how to take care of it
not really expensive if youre on a budget you might have to go ghetto on a few things until you can afford better but you could probably go with a 300 gallon rubbermaid stock tank although Im not sure about the pacu since they grow up as well as out either way youll probably have to upgrade eventually but 300 gallons buys you some time check out the diy threads for pond filters Im sure youll learn alot I myself use a couple of the homemade ghetto filters and they work great good luck
