what to stock in 55g?

[fishingaddict]

i have a 55g in my room thats empty since i moved the pbass out of it to a bigger tank. now what set up can i run in the 55g? im thinkin bout breeding convicts to feed my monsters, but i wanna have more options and maybe somethin more appealing than just convicts.

thanks for any ideas and input.

You could divide the tank (so they don't eat each others young) and raise convicts, rosy reds, guppies or mollies as feeders and they school nicely too. The last 3 are easier for the fish to swallow too.

besides breeding feeders what are my other options i was thinkin archers, but would a 55 hold a pair?

 

[Dr Joe]

Sorry, I thought you meant options for feeders..., my mistake.

Do you already have filteration etc?

A air of archers could be interesting. Or even a heavily planted Amazon tank if you want something to watch.

Couple of giant Angels...it's different .

Kinda depends on how much upkeep you want to do

would a 55 suffice for a pair of archers? thinkin bout doin some plants but nuthin big

For a smaller breed, a 75g would be nicer, but it would work for the first year.
