wet pet for 55 gallon?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I had a jack dempsey and it was awesome. He was absolutely beautiful and very mean. I would recommend one for a 55 gallon if it was alone but it might need a larger tank down the road.
 
it means green terror but sometimes they hit 12 inch... what about a smaller piranha if they are legal in your state? could do some rare convicts like hrp or pinks, could do a dwarf flowerhorn, 5 star general aka hemichromis elongatus or frempongi, red jewel cichlid breeding groups are impressive if you get some really red ones. what about a leopard ctenopoma or nandus nandus both really cool mini predators. erm thats all i can suggest for active fish, obv there are lots of catfish if thats your thing, might get away with a fresh water barracuda they are cool. green spotted puffers are also awesome but you will need to add salt once it grows to make it brackish, easy to do compared to marine so no biggie.
 
ranchu are really cool and can get too 12 inch and come in loadsa colours like koi!-)
