i would go with a single GT. they are beautiful fish and would look awesome in a 55g. post a pic when you finally do get a fish

a green terror would be nice but may out grow a 55 eventually

In a 55?!?!?!





Salvini are amazing. But they're mean little ba$tards when they pair up. Since they're a bit smaller than GT's and JD's a pair would make for a great tank if you planted it. They love planted tanks

For a single fish...male GT's and male JD's get about the same size so its a toss up for me. depends on the personality of the fish. My male GT is like a dog. swims over to the corner of the tank next to me in my recliner when I watch TV, and hangs out. VERY cool fish

I would get a Jack or some Mbuna cichlids.

ok thanks all anyone else

I am leaning toward a mbuna setup. Not sure yet. I will continue to research.

For Africans you're gona want to find a way to raise your PH levels to around 8.0-8.2 ish I believe.

Some of the sand substrate availble will raise it and keep it there (of course - Duh), but that has worked for me with my 30 that I keep Red Jewel cichlids in. It sticks right around 8-8.1

Hope it works out for you either way

Good luck

What is the correct way to find out the ph of my water? I know use a kit. But what's the most accurate one. I heard letting my tap water sit for a day or so then test it?

Here is my Green Terror in a 55 by himself.
He acts very much like a dog.
