How many fish you looking to keep?

Good question well i wanted to keep like a viratey of predators maby like 5-7 of them. Is that too much?

How about, a senegal bichir, shoal of exodons, and a gulper catfish?

5-7 will limit you. If you want that many maybe go with a few Africans?

horrible idea...the gulper would be the only guy left...

senegal bichirs would be fine for a 55. they don't get bigger than 1ft in most cases and can stay there all their life.

African cichlid community tank would be another idea, but you'd have to stay away from te usual mbuna because they are not "predators" despite being vicious. plus they wont leave food for any other fish

how about a brackish tank with 2-3 Columbian sharks

I would say African personally that way you can get some good colors.

3 columbian sharks could not live in a 55 gallon tank for life



i think a sengal bichir would be nice
