Stock Ideas for 55 - Mad man

[gorillazsw]

I am getting a 55 gallon tank. It is going to be 12.5 inches wide and 4 feet long. I have the space for it the only problem is I can't pick what fish I want to put in it.
this is driving me crazy .
Can someone please give me an idea.

Anyway, to answer your question, you could go with a texas, JD, cons, africans, etc.
I personally would go with a pair of severums.

Just remember that with a tank that size you are restricted to fish about six inches long if they are really active and 8-9" if they are sedentary. If you want a busy tank of not too common fish try cockatoo apistogrammas (5 females and 3 males), a group of six or seven skunk cories, 8-10 each of blue and bleeding heart tetras, and maybe some silver hatchetfish

You could go with a few Angelfish, some Golden Wonder Killis, the SA Bumblebee catfish,
thats just a few ideas. You could go and do a brackish tank with leaffish, bichirs, puffers, Bamboo Shrimp, etc.. Again it just depends on how much you wanna spend on fish and how you want the tank to look.

You can always go for one Red Devil or Midas.
