Is it posible to raise two juvinile rds in a 55 gallon with out problems.I kno eventually they would need a bigger tank,but for a year would they be ok,in a 55.They are both smaller then 4 inches.

Not a year, but like months or so...Some grow uber fast, some just fast...The uber fast growing males, will not tolerate a mate in the 55 for longer than 4 months or so....

Right around the 4-5 month mark is right. If there is a larger fish in there from the beginning to keep it/them in check then it in will work for a longer period of time however, even at that you would need a larger tank to make this suggestion a possibility.
