Getting a 55G,what to put in it

[kdblove_99]

Not sure what kinda fish i want to get for this. I have a 125G already. have awide mix in there. I don't like the looks of Piranha's at all.Please dont flame me just my opinion. I like cichlids alot. Thinking maybe an Oscar could i put other fish in there or is that just enough for him? I want to be able to put several fish in there. Hey you know what fish i like alot the Green Terror can any other fish go in with them and what ones? and how many. how big do they get?

A 55gal tank would be the minimum for keeping a single green terror for life. I'd suggest a 72gal for an oscar. I'm about to setup my new 55gal with some juvenile cichlids and then move them to a larger tank once they've outgrown the 55.

If you are not willing to upgrade at a later date, dempseys would work with a 55...or salvini...or you can do lots with african cichlids. Some other ideas would be blue acaras and severum.

I'f I remember your 125s stock I think you should just move your current stock around.I would refrane for buying anything that dont fit a 55 long term.The road your on will lead you to owning 4 125s:p But then there is nothing wrong with that.
