Title: 55 gallon stocking
Post by: jwalser18 on June 02, 2013, 07:30:38 PM: Like how rich wants a WOW tank.. as do I and want to update what I'm currently housing. here's what I would like to keep but okay with any (or all) going.

I have plenty of river rocks and fake plants ( i mean an unrealistic amount as I can't keep real plants alive)

So, here's what I want to keep, but would like suggestions on bigger fish to stock with:

10- albino cory's (in a last resort, will remove)
10- black skirt tetra's (willing to remove)
1- blood parrot

HELP ME STOCK

Look at the cookie cutter for a 55gal.
