I have a 55 that I will be stocking soon. If you had a fresh tank and didnt have to worry about money (within reason), how would you stock it? I am just trying to get some ideas. Freshwater of course.
 
heavily planted
50 cardinals
a ton of cherry shrimp
 
A school of neons, a school of cories, something big and scary to make them school...perhaps a pair of GBRs or Angelfish...and some Khulis cause I like them so much.

After that, it'd prolly be it...maybe a random fish here or there based on what the LFS has.
 
My tank right now plus 8 cyprochromis leptosoma that I want badly

Or...

15 espi rasboras
15 ember tetras
3 sparkling gourami
8 dwarf glass hatchetfish
10 pygmy corys
6 dwarf chain pygmy loaches

May be too much...but then I would upgrade :D

Isn't too much. More embers and espeis can be added and loaches can be put to 10 maximum.
Sengals are awesome for a 55 though a Delhezi would work too
I agree. I love these two bichirs.;)
 
personally; :headbang2: from the suggestions so far ... the Bichir's (Senegal's or even an Ornate) or even a ropefish!
If you want to know what those look like - I'll post mine ...

of course you could squeeze a little guy like my newest one in there ... :grinyes:

sorry - I couldn't resist showing off this new baby - he's about a foot long ...
