thats right, looking to stock up 3, 55g tanks. i just dont know what to stock them with. im looking for fish i can keep in it for life. i already have green terrors, gouramis, pearsei, blood parrots, red tail sharks, rainbow sharks, bolivian rams, dojo loachs, blue lobster, spoted high fin pleco, clown pleco, brisle nose pleco, ottos, and upside down catfishs. (not all in the same tank...lol)

I always liked the look of an angelfish tank with some blackskirts and cories.

Or go african with a bichardi colony

I don't think a 55 is large enough for a school of silver dollars. How about some rainbowfish and barbs?

really? though for sure 4-5 s.d. would be ok in a 55. and not to fond of barbs. as for angel fish. i have a 65g tall thats cycling now (about a week left or so) that i want to use for the angels.


how big do bichardi get, and how many can be housed in a 55g.


still open for suggestions. come on my fellow mfk.

One that grows less than 11.5 inches. Preferably (impo) 8"...A salvini would set off a 55 when full grown. You could do a pair.
