my mom has a hugely overstocked/mismatched 55g. my "friend" lost power and we took their fish and then they decided they didnt want them back. we didnt think many were going to live. the only thing that was killed so far was one zebra danio. i'm pretty embarassed to say whats in there, actually, lol.
fish already in there:
mom's fish:
7" jack dempsey
4" green severum
3" rubber-lip pleco
fish i decided i didnt want in my tank anymore:
2" red tip shark
3" bala shark
2" sailfin pleco
6" P. acei
6" orange zebra (african cich)
"donated" fish:
2" zebra danios (x2, one more was in there but was killed that i mentioned earlier)
3" gourami (x3, the regular ugly ones)
6" common pleco
theyre all pretty small (most are very small), so theyre sorta okay for now, but some need to go. i'm thinking the most that should be in there are the JD, severum and rubber-lip, maybe a couple others. the rest are either going to have to be gotten rid of, put in my 125, or i'll have to set up my other 55g for a while.
anyway, keeping with the point of this thread: there are tons of different fish with different personalities in a relatively small tank and they all get along. the only two that quarrel and the JD and the common pleco since the pleco decided he was going to take over the JD's hiding spot....pleco won. the JD was the first fish she got, probably 5 years ago, and is the only original one left. she's gone through (either by death or got rid of) a 4" jaguar, 5" midas, a couple 3-5" green terrors and others i cant remember. the JD isnt very aggressive, just territorial. he usually wont seek out others to pick on, but has been able to hold his own against all of the others. that is why its been so successful
alright, i'm finally done. don't kill me
