Will I Be Fully Stocked?

[Hollymolly4]

My final count for my 55 gallon is 6 mollies, 7 skirt tetras, and one angelfish (don't have the angel yet). Will this make it fully stocked? Would you add anything? I do not want more than one angel. Just curious of other opinions. I might just stop at this list but I'm always open for ideas!

How about a bristlenose catfish?

I was actually looking into one of those when I got my 29 gallon but decided it was too big for it. They're so ugly in the gotta have one kind of way. LOL Might look into one when I actually have some algae. Only prob is they like driftwood to chew on and that can lower the ph which I think might cause a problem with the other fish. Maybe a smaller one. Thanks for the reply!

Whatever you do, i wouldn't suggest putting an angel with neons... Big mistake in my own opinion... I saw my angels eat my neons, and i almost died...

55 gallons is quite big! and your only putting 13 small fish and 1 small/medium in?

I'd scrap the angelfish and put a Bristlenose in, with some cories for the bottom

Or, you could put some kissing gouramis in if that is an option (don't know whether tank is too small though).

you have a larger tank than mine and this is what i have in mine and it still looks barren

3 corries
clown pleco
rubbernose pleco
4 preacox rainbows
4 otto's
2 kribs
10 glowlight tetra's
5 cherry barbs
5 five banded barbs

and on sunday i am adding 3 more corries and also 1 or 2 more pleco's also a couple of honey gaurmi's

it does depend on the size of the surface area tho i have a 4ft tank
