55 Gal

[tonyale]

I just got a new 55 gal and I need stockin advice I was thinkin African rope fish but I need more

 

[Questions?]

maybe smoe 5 banded barbs

Why not build the tank around them? I would set it up with bog wood and anubias. Then for fish I would do this....

3- reedfish
6-8 Congo tetras
3-4 African butterflies
4- Synodontis nigriventirs (upside-down cats)

Well that's what I'd do.

Congrats on your 55g. You can do so much with that size.
Maybe try a theme tank. A tetra tank, a african tank, a cichlid tank, ect....Maybe....
My 55g took 4 weeks to cycle. During that time I travelled to my LFS and wrote down what fish I liked, then went home and researched them. Found area breeders. ( did find a area angel breeder ) That was the longest 4 weeks ever. I am not a patient person. But I did it.
Have fun with your new project.
