Love the variety of fish u have..sad to say im trying to get rid of my giant cichlids so i can put new breeds of fish in their ..

Saying something repeatedly is not going to make me believe it any more than I do now. Freshwater morays are not that difficult to get rid of unless you're asking like $50 for it. Have you even tried posting an ad on craigslist?

Yeah no one asked about it because my dad won't let me ship it.

If I were in your position, I would just tell him that either it needs to be shipped, or it needs a larger tank, and explain to him that it is animal cruelty to keep it in such a small freshwater tank.

you are heavily overstocked.

fish never stop growing.

that 55 isn't big enough for any of those fish for life even if they were kept singularly.

it's cruel to keep em in a tank that small. sure you've heard this before but that's like keeping a german shepherd in a crate for it's life.

on a positive note. it's good that you are over filtered otherwise your fish would be floating upside down however that does not make up for the fact that the fish don't have enough room.

also your fish do look healthy and the tank clean so two thumbs up but you definately need to upgrade or sell some fish

it can hold the JD for life but thats it

No, it could hold an EBJD for life, but not a regular JD. JD's can get to about the same length as that tank's width (which is not enough room for a cichlid), but EBJD's don't get much longer than 8".

what kind of eel is that

what kind of eel is that

Gymnothorax tile, aka "freshwater" eel. Although it is commonly known as the freshwater eel, they are actually a brackish species that is capable of migrating into freshwater temporarily, but should not be kept permanently in freshwater.
