So I have a 55 gallon tank with 6 fishes in it and today I added 21 fishes just because I wanted to test waters and see what fish get along with what I know to introduce up to five fish at a time but petco was having 75% all fish lol today and tomorrow could let it pass what do u guys think

So now you have a total of 27 fish? And to test the water? You added fish to test the water? Fish get along, with what? Ok if the fish are small it probably isn't going to be a HUGE issue put I have feeling your tank might crash, but I am not always sure or correct. Maybe in the future you shouldn't buy all those fish at one time? I learned in my experience that being patient will pay off because if your tank fails (Ich, water quality, etc.) you will have wasted your money.
 
You really need to provide more details on what fish you bought. I gurantee you'll have an ammonia spike adding so many though

The last thing I would do is buy a bunch of fish from Petco and put them in my main tank without quarantine. That is asking for trouble. Hope trouble doesn't find you.
 
Yeah I get what u guys are saying and no I didn't put the fish to test my water I put them in to see witch one would do good with witch because in the pass I have been told that this fish won't get a long with this fish and stuff and it has work but I get u guys the fish I added are 2 kissing gouramis 2 silver dollar 3 Bolivian ram one gold ram 3 red bleeding heart tetras 5 gold plattys 2 male gourami n two Molly's
I mean I know I did wrong don't put me down for it but when would I tell if I'm having problems with my tank? I do have a 55 gallon I'm running a 70 aquaal clear filter and a 55 gallon nexx canister filter

I don't think you'll have a problem with any of those fish not getting along. They're all pretty peaceful community fish.

If I were you, I wouldn't be concerned on how long it'll be to start noticing problems. I would get rid of a bunch the fish to prevent problems. Why waste money and cause problems when it's easier to avoid problems?

The problem with this, is that BECAUSE there are way too many fish in the tank, you will NOT see normal interaction.
When you start removing the fish (if you do), the interaction will change markedly - so you basically shot yourself, and the fish, in the foot/fin, for no good reason.
 
Sounds like you already know its a bad idea adding this many fish at the same time, but you still went ahead and did it anyway. Also sounds like you already know that the majority of members here will disapprove. So, I'm not really sure why you're posting this and setting yourself up for ridicule
