i wouldn't mix silver dollars with plants if the longterm health of the plants is a priority. A planted tank with a pair of dwarf cichlids and some tetras would be fantastic.

african dwarf frogs

bumblebee catfish, meaning the South American common ones, would be an interesting option.

all black...looks fantastic.

fantastic looking mudskipper.

maybe I'm just paranoid about this, but other than crickets intended for herp food, I wouldn't feed any bugs to my fish. There's always the chance of their being exposed to pesticides and other toxic stuff.

Assuming good filtration and water changes, it isn't overcrowded, although in terms of aggression you could have issues, especially towards the Herotilapia, which isn't up to par with the Dempseys or black belt.

sounds impressive, do you have any pics of it?

This doesn't answer you're question, but why not give away the boring fishes that you have in the 20 gallon, and use that tank for splitting up the inhabitants of the 55 gallon. that would go a long way in alleviating the odd mixture of fish you have there.

You pretty much mentioned the most popular online resources for this, if you need some extra info try using the search feature on AP or MFK and looking up old posts that might have some info you can find useful. I mean, I'm not going to bash websites, but here on Ac it's hard to get answer to a...

Guppies don't fit into the Amazonian theme biotope, but they are technically South American.
