awesome :)

I'd probably get rid of the auratus and crabro...they get insane aggressive in a 55 gallon tank...all the rest look good to me :)

They are considered a dwarf even though they can get 5 plus inches.  Mine bred at a very small size also so you should be fine.  These are incredible colored fish but get nasty...I house mine with larger species of aggressive mbuna and everything works out very well.

  5 years all together...didn't want to give up the dollars and loaches but found a 300 gallon for them :)

Video of my 120 I did right before I sold all my dollars and loaches off...going back to a strict cichlid tank.  

You can add a couple larger cichlids like an Oscar or Jack Dempsey no problem.  Some fast large growing barbs would be fine too.

  Thank you :)

Follow up video on my very red marble convict female.  I'm raising some other very red females but would love to eventually raise some completely red convicts.   

This is a video of rusty Wessels Koi Pond.  It was very impressive and very deep...possibly the happiest koi I've ever seen ;)  

  I agree...seemed a little overwhelmed with all the other fish in the tank.

Seen this big boy at the ACA Convention...love to have one for myself again.  

I stumbled across this big guy at a LFS.  I've read about these fish before but never seen one in person.  These fish are sometimes sold as freshwater groupers but they truly aren't, even though they have a high tolerance for different water chemistry.  This fish was so impressive that I had to...

  I found them to be very adaptable to a range in temperature.  I actually don't have a heater in their tank so the tank ranges from 74 - 80 degrees during the changing seasons.  I've never had them with plants...but they seem to be a typical barb...I think you would be ok :)

For those not familiar with these fish...they can be a real show stopper and are excellent tankmates and hardy :)  

Beauty pair Dave...I'm also subbed to your channel on Youtube ;)
