hi,i'm now keeping my 55 uk gallon long.i have black sand for the substrate,£100 of bogwood and plants and 2 x 5 - 6 inch senegals.

please can you guys list what fish,plus,how many of each fish you would add to this tank.this is really urgent as i'm going to a fish shop 40 miles away tomorrow and would like to get my fish while i'm there.

i dont like butterfly fish,but i pretty much like most other fish.

the more i think,the blanker my mind goes.

please,please,give me loads of fish lists

thanks in advance.

ps,something colourful would be nice.
 
these are some of the fish i am interested in

exodon paradoxus

semaprochilodus taeniurus

plus any you guys can think off.
 
NO EXODONS! You will not enjoy the outcome of THAT one... they'll probably end up nipping/chewing all of yoru bichirs' fins and/or eyes off... think tiny piranhas... not a good match up. The other one sounds like it would be fine...

Someone else here back me up on this if I'm right....
 
Leopard Ctenopoma are great, I just got three of them for my bichir tank and they are awsome
