heres the story.....I have a 75 gallon with 2 retic pups and 1 silver arrowana. they will be going inside my 220 coming in december. I though my addiction reached its peak when i decided to get the 220...WRONG.....I saw the perfect spot in my aprtment for a 55 gallon. First thing you should know is that my 75 will become home to 2 green terrors when I get the 220, my idea for the 55 was to get convicts and let them breed like hell but now i cant decide. SO.. my question is what other species of fish can i house in a 55 that I can breed??

 

[fishcatch22]

acaras and severums.

 

[momar]

Firemouths. Angels if you do things right. Kribs. Apistogramma. And of course livebearers.

severum... get a gold severum male and a green severum female

or get
5 male sailfin mollies and 15 females
or the same way with swordtails

how many dats and loaches would live comfortable in a 55g??

With angels..the trick is finding an pair. they are difficult to sex.

same can be said for discus..with these you need to get a bunch of young fish and let them pair off.

then you need to try and determine what to do with the odd fish out..tho, you can house 2 pair of angels in a 55..but they may fight over territory.

many other cichlids will form pairs. but you need to find smaller ones that won't bust the tank.(grow too big)

how about 2 green terrors

how about an amizon river based tank with a large school of 10-15 tetras(or two medium sized schools of 6-8) of tetras, a pair of angels (you have to buy a bunch of juveniles, then remove the agressive ones, and see if any pair off, then keep those) and then a clown, rubber, or bushynose pleco. then a school of cories
