When we move on the 1st, I get to set up a new 55. Hopefully, this is what it will have...

2 14'' ropes, 1 9'' abk, 2 3'' abk, 2 golden wonder killifish, 5 nickel/dime sized assorted angels, 1 small pleco, 1 cory, 2 7'' senegals, 8 african clawed frogs (which I hope to watch get eaten), 1 red clawed crab, 2 african leaf fish (one is an inch and a half, the other only a half inch - he's good at hiding though). Going to try black sand as a bottom - never had sand before. Lots of hiding places and plants planned as well.

I totally understand that this tank will be in NO WAY big enough for these fish when they are fully grown, but they are all pretty small right now. The whole idea with having these fish that will get much larger is that I have an excuse for a bigger tank later on.

Is this doable if I keep up with my water changes or is it too much? I already have arrangements to take several of my fish to the lfs for store credit - if the general idea is that the tank will be overpopulated, I'll take a few more with me when I drop them off :)

well i think i a couple months all u will have left is the rope fish the the big abk the bichir and the pleco everything else will get eaten and they should be fine in there with good upkeep on your part
 
I may be able to keep the 30g around for my angels - could move the cory to that tank. Even if I don't, one of the angels will make it with the above listed fish. He's a bruiser, and likes to beat up on everything. He's busy "initiating" the two new angels I got last night. They're backed up into a corner hiding in a plant and when they try to come out, he body slams them back in. I used to have the senegal with that fish and the angel tried to beat the senegal up too.
