Anyone got any ideas for me??

[SilverDollar_03]

I have 1 common pleco, 2 blue gouramis, and 4 silver dollars, all are from 1 to 2 inches long right now. I just got my tank 3 weeks ago and have recently added these fish. i was looking for some opinions and ideas on new fish to add to the tank. The tank is 55 US Gallons, with plastic plants, 3 caves, and some good open swimming space as well. ideas please!!

Make sure that your tank is cycled before adding any more fish. You have a possible cycle on the go now and adding more fish will only complicate matters at this point in time. Also take into consideration the adult size of these fish when stocking the tank. I would recommend that once the tank is stable(cycled) you get some small schooling fish like tetras or rasboras.

ok, there are so many tetras though, and im not sure which to get. how about a couple gold german rams??? i like those, very colorful

ok, and one question. how many more inches of fish do you think i could put in my tank, considering what i already have in it???

If you go by the inch per gal guide then you have:
1 pleco - 1 x 12 inches =12 inches
2 gouramis - 2 x 3 inches =6 inches
4 silver dollars - 4 x 8 inches = 32 inches

so you have roughly 5 inches left. You can go higher than this but you will need a stable tank and some experience in tank maintenance and parameter monitoring. HTH
