[Big Jay]

big jay what size tank are they in and what for tankmates ?

55 gallon.

5 - Red Head Tapajos
1 - L200 Pleco I've had for 6-7 years

That's it. No plans for anything else to go in.

love that pleco.. amazing colours.. sadly im stuck with the common type, have 2 now, came with a tank we got year back.. otherwise would get one like that

worked out that mine is around 60 gallons not 55.. all i need to know is what room there is for how much fish

 

[Hyperboy0]

So has anyone got any ideas? dont want to rush into getting anything and it all goes wrong.. so anything would be muchly appreciated

Im rather stuck atm, i know that a 55 gallon isnt terribly big.. i am not new to cichlid keeping either.. i have though recently got back into cichlid keeping again, and want to move away from community tanks.. 2 55 gallons are staying as they are atm.. but one has a young parrot 3" in, im wondering what i could put in there with him.. tank dimensions are 41" wide, 18" depth and 24" high.. anyone help?? Thanks

3 inch Blood parrot? Or the true Hoplarchus psittacus?

I have a couple sevrums with my red heads, they get along great.
As far as stocking ideas, how bout some dwarfs Cichlids, I love my apistogrammas!
