Does this sound good?

I made my final list of fish i want to be in my 55g tank. Here it is:

1 angelfish (centerpiece)
1 silver dollar (he is from my 10g)
7 panda cories
7 lemon tetras
3 kuhli loaches
7 rosboras
1 honey gourami

If this doesn't work plz make some suggestions? :huh:

May I suggest some Bosemani Rainbows (forgive the spelling) They were a great addition to my 66 Gallon and seem to do well in a peaceful tank

a single SD is not a happy fish, not to mention he will OS your tank. return him to the store, and get either th cories or the loaches, but not both.

I see nothing wrong him having both the kuhlie loaches and the panda corys. In my 55 gallon I have:
4 Kuhlie Loaches
4 Emerald Corys
4 Schwartzs Corys
15 Cardinal Tetras
2 Male Fancy Guppies (hitch hikers!!)
2 Mystery snails
??????? Ghost Shrimp

Everyone is happy and healthy and I do not feel that it is over stocked. Now having the Silver Dollar is another thing. Silver Dollars are schooling fish and will not be happy alone in a 55. Also look out for your rasboras, as your angelfish grows you may find that they slowly dissapear, one by one......

ok i think i'll take out the rosboras, but i really love kuhli loaches and cories so i think i'll keep them. Now for the rainbows... I don't know one thing about them... They are very pretty but i'll have to do some researching before i think of adding them. Now about the silver dollar, I can't take him back! I rescued him from walmart since i knew if i left him there, he would just die and he is such a pretty spotted silver. Walmart had him with 3 spotted puffers and some upside down catfish, and at that time i knew the puffers were aggressive!

Angels prefer to live in schools. That is the only thing I would suggest reconsidering.

I agree with FC about the silver dollar. They really are schooling fish and a lone one will probably not thrive. How about instead of the Gourami and SD you have a pair of angels? Not a breeding pair persay, but maybe same sex?
Good luck!

The thing about the angelfish is I don't want to get a pair. They would make the tank hell for the other fish and that isn't what i want for them.... Should i take away the angelfish and keep the rosboras and maybe add another silver dollar or something?



edit: I don't know how to sex angelfish so it would be like russian routine(i suck at spelling)

Get rid of the Angel and maybe get another Honey Gourami.

Would they get territorial?
