Aggresive 55 Gallon Stocking

[williamc]

I will be getting a new 55 gallon fishtank around christmas and I was wondering what can I have in there that is aggresive but can be with about 6 tigerbarbs and some corys?
Chiclids
What kind of cory should I get i have a albanio an a upside down catfish?
should I get more albanios?

No less than 6 tiger barbs. The more barbs, the more to spread out the aggression. No longer finned fish (like angels) or slow fish with them. Danios might be alright. They are pretty quick and constantly moving.
I think cories prefer to stay in their same types. 3 would be ok. Some upside down catfish can get large and prefer groups as well. You want to look for synodontis like Synodontis nigriventris. They get around 4". Do not get an Asian Upside Down Catfish (Mystus leucophasis). They get quite big and WILL eat fish 3/4 of their size. I have one that I need to rehome.
