i just got a new 55 tank and i was wondering if i can keep

2-3 silver dollars
1 red tail black shark
1 Boesemani Rainbow
2-4 assorted gourami
1 Elephant Nose

would they all go together and can i keep any more fish in the tank

is there any schooling fish i can get in here if i get these fish
 
Silver Dollars IMO need to be in groups of 5 or more and get too big for a 55, Redtail is fine, the Bosemani should be okay but might be better in a larger group (not sure), the gourami depends on the species (there are several) and the Elephant Nose I think might not go in a 55 and they tend to be a more "experienced" keeper's fish.

The bosemani's do need to be kept in a group as they are a schooling fish so you should get at least 5. They're fairly small (3.5") and are quite active so you shouldn't keep them with timid species. They need a minimum tank size of 80l I believe.

They're good with lots of different types of fish, including dwarf gouramis if you're considering them.

PS - I think Bosemani's need to be added to a mature tank so make sure your tank is cycled first. I could be wrong about that, but then it's always best to make sure you're tank is fully cycled to give your fish the safest and best start in their new homes.

Dude, tiger barbs can be aggessive, don't know about the elephant nose - is that some sort of plec?

If you're a first timer, which from all the weird things you've said on threads I guess you are, I'd get some danios and some sort of tetras (white tips are a good bet) with a borneo sucker to add entertainment.

Then I'd spend the rest of my life in my room until I learnt how to interact and treat people, before coming back. Accusing people of things (eg hacking) is totally out of order.

If you have evidence, which I sincerely doubt, send it to the mods. Otherwise, try not to repeat yourself and simply get on with others. We're all here for help and friendship - not unfounded accusations.
