quesiton about stocking

[HiImSean]

i have a few empty 55g tanks. im thinking of starting a community in one and here is what i plan on stocking it with(all will be small when first introduced and can be moved to a different tank if needed):
2 x juvenile EBJD ~3"
4 x angelfish
2 x polypterus (not sure what species, probably a senegal, palmas, or ornate)

would these guys all get along?

having all of those fish in a 55 gallon would be considered OS. JD's have the potential to get to at least 10 inches, so if you were able to find a breeding pair that would fully stock the tank. if you cannot find a breeding pair, your best bet would be to go with only one for the tank.

i was thinking about that and since they would be young would that be an ok stocking for about year

I wouldn't keep angels with the other fish

He didn't say JD's he said EBJD's and those are generally smaller. I think they stay around 15 cm's which is like 5-6 inches I believe.



To the OP... I wouldn't trust any variation of dempsey with angels myself.

I think out of what you want to put in the tank, you would only be able to fit the two ebjds, but only if they are a breeding pair. If they are not, they will probably fight. I would not recommend putting Angels with ebjds. If you want, you can have one tank of a breeding pair of ebjds and one tank with about 5-6 angels.
