Is this okay?

[SilverDollar_03]

I want to get these fish in my 55 Gallon tank, and from research, it looks okay, what do you guys think?

In my 55 Gallon (3 large caves, many plants)

4 Silver Dollars
1 Red-Tailed Black Shark
5 Albino Corydoras
6 Zebra Danios

I have had problems in my old tank with a red tail and the Gouramis. When they would go next to the caves the shark would pop out and mess with them.

sweet, looks liek i finally found a home for my comon pleco as well, so i can follow thorough with the plan!!!

The two blue gouramis won't mix.
The dominant one will constantly harass and chase the other. The dominant one will also grow considerably larger that the other one. The weak one will get stressed and that may bring about disease.

get more than two cories when the plec is gone, they need to be in shoals of about six.

 

[SilverDollar_03]

shoals of about six eh? ok

yeah i gave my pleco away to a pet store.

so should i only keep 1 blue gourami???

 

[astroboy]

Yes, only 1 blue gourami.

Also, if you have limited tank space then keeping a minimum of 3 corys is fine.
6 is nice, but not essential.

okay, because i recently bought 2 blue gouramis and they both died. i think it was because of a nitrite spike overnight, but im not sure.
