55 gallon stocking
« 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

IF you want south or central cichlids.

Look at the cookie cutter for a 55gal.

I am not quite sure what you are looking for but many central Americans do well with livebearers such as sword or platies such as firemouths angels and platies or swords.
