55 Gallon Tank

[kribensis12]

I have been offerd a 55 gallon tank, with 60 gallons of filtration( bio-wheel). I am not sure If I am going to get it or not, but I might as well be prepared. It has a pleco, alot of feeder guppys( home-bred) and 1 bala shark, I silver dollar. I am going to get rid of all these( maybe not the pleco). I wanted to know of any good suggestions for fish in it. I dont want to spend alot of money whatsoever. All help will be appreaciated.

[n3ont3tra]

Don't know too much about cichlids or livebearers, sorry. Someone will come along and help pretty soon though.

I wouldn't bother with livebeares no go in them, and you had them and learnt that for yourself.

 

[kribensis12]

I like livebearers, but I want more interesting fish for this tank. If I even get it. So what would you suggest, anything goes.

You should get some puffers. They have so much personality. There alot like having a little puppy dog, if there kept healthy they well always greet you at the glass with there big puppy dog eyes and happy smile.

 

[kribensis12]

Anything else, I will think about puffers.
