You are joking, I presume?

If not, please consider the potential size of these fish. A rough rule-of-thumb is 1 inch of fish per gallon, but that Chinese Algae Eater alone could potentially reach 12 inches! Female bettas are about 2.5 inches. I'm not sure what species those "sharks" are, but I've never seen a small fresh-water shark - the smallest seem to be about 5".

I suggest you go back to the drawing board with those suggestions and look at small fish like White Cloud Mountain minnows, small tetras or pygmy corys.

A Rainbow Shark in a 5.5gal?? I had what I think was an albino form of one (same size, same form, same behavior at least) in a 32gal and I think even that tank might have been a little too small! Please reconsider for the fish's sake...

Native Region: Thailand.

Temperament: Aggressive.

Feeding: Pellets and thawed adult brine shrimp.

Temperature Range: 72-80°F.

pH: 6.5-7.5

Potential Size: 6"

Sexing The male's anal fin is distinctively black-lined.

General Comments: Larger fish that doesn't like much company, certainly not with other Rainbow Sharks. Very territorial.

As stated previously, please dont do that..
Unless of course you want some dead fish? Fish Stuff

in that 5.5 gallon I suggest "4" ghost shrimp. 3 neons. The neons from someone elses post have known to kill the ghost shrimp "so they say" Or you could try!
4 ghost shrimp, 2 female guppies? I didn't suggest one female guppy and one male guppy because of the female getting tired of constantly being chased around the small tank "never knowig if she could get away"
