Will these fish mix?

Here is my plan for stocking a 55 gallon fish tank. Freshwater.

Black Ghost Knife Fish. 6 inches.

Albino ID Shark. 8 inches.

Fire Eel. 8 inches.

Anything else?

Substrate will be White Silica Sand.

I will either use a Emp. 400 or an AC110. whichever I can find cheaper.

Probably some driftwood and some clay pots.

What do you guys think?

Where is the best place to get a new 55 cheap. Either just the tank or a full set up.

any idea?

craigslist.. under 100 with tops and lights.. A little bleach and rinse it a few times.. save hundreds.. just my 2 cents.

Black Ghost Knife Fish. 6 inches.
Gets up to a foot and some long; not suitable for a 55g

Albino ID Shark. 8 inches.
gets up to 2.5 feet; not suitable for your tank
Fire Eel. 8 inches.
Gets up to 2 feet and some; not suitable for your tank
Anything else?

Substrate will be White Silica Sand.

I will either use a Emp. 400 or an AC110. whichever I can find cheaper.
two of each would be better
Probably some driftwood and some clay pots.

Very over stocked. You will need a 300-400g tank at least eventually. That ID shark gets huge.

Thanks fishaddict but I am planning for a 500 gallon tank when I graduate college in four years. Is that two far away. Will they out grow it in 4 years?

Fishaddict.....do you know how long it will take before they will out grow a 55gal tank?

 

[kjfan1]

Yeah that's what I'm wondering can they wait in a 55 for 4 years. They have all been in 30ish tanks for the first year or two.

Chances are you wont have the same fish in 4 years.

 

[nomad]

If you are set on that stocklist you should start with an 180 growout instead of a 55. Your fish will outgrow the 55 in less than a year

Are you saying they won't live that long?

What about a 55 for two years then a 180 for two then a 500+
