55 Gallon Stocking?

[Ripley]

I recently bought a 55 gallon tank, but was wondering if I could get some stocking suggestions. Th only fish that are upgrading to that tank are a 3" RTB shark and a 3" Spotted Climbing Perch.

Well, the spotted climbing perch will eventually grow to 6" and it requires live foods to thrive (such as fish), so nothing smaller than 3" should go into the tank. Angelfish mix nicely with Climbing perches, and they're alright with RTBS, Giant danios should be alright, Tiger barbs, Rosy barbs, Red glass barbs. Those are just a few that come to mind. Some nice plecos (Royal, candy stripe or even clown pleco) would look nice aswell.

Hope this helps,

Ryan

a shoal of loaches would be nice too!

PRW: I was aware of how big the SCP was going to get (he currently gets a diet of frozen food and every so often a bunch of feeder white clouds). He's the real reason for the tank upgrade (lucky guy!). Thanks for the suggestions!

Biulu: Quite possibly, but I'm not a loach fan!


I was thinking maybe a school of congo tetras or tiger barbs, and then possibly some odessa barbs for the middle/lower, or a pair of kribs or rams.
