Alright, so hereās the predicament Iām currently in:
I have a 55 gallon freshwater tank that has 1 bristle nose pleco, 2 Silver Dollars, and 3 Clown Loaches. Already there are several problems with this: the amount of fish, and most importantly the tank size. After doing research, Iāve learned that these guys need bigger tanks in order to thrive, especially if I want both; however, my tank is just too small to comfortably house both of these fish. To make things worse, my dad wants to go to the fish store tomorrow to buy some red hook silver dollars as well as a bunch of tiger barbs (the barbs will be a big problem for the silver dollars/red hooks).
With this situation in mind, I have a couple questions:
1.) What should I do with the silver dollars and clown loaches?
2.) What should I put in this tank instead? I know this isnāt exactly an emergency question, but I would like some ideas on what to stock this tank with. The main things Iād like for this tank are either cool cichlids or a nice community tank.
I know itās a tad late (for me itās 8 PM PST), but I would like some speedy replies. I donāt got a lot of time before we go to the fish store.
