desiredusername Enthusiast Posts: 182 Kudos: 99 Votes: 36 Registered: 26-Sep-2006	i was thinking of stocking my soon to be freed up 55g with some cichlids. The stocking would be something like 2-3 firemouths 1 convict Would this fit? Would they all be compatible?

A 55g is a nice size with many options available to you. Take a look here for some suggestions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Is it me or is a cookie cutter a kind of shark that drills holes in whales and rubber parts on submarines? Odd terminology. Actually if youve never seen one , take a looky ,off topic I know, its well worth it, and while youre at it check out the goblin shark. That is one UGLY fish. http://www.amonline.net.au/FISHES/fishfacts/fish/ibrasil.htm

desiredusername Enthusiast Posts: 182 Kudos: 99 Votes: 36 Registered: 26-Sep-2006	your right that is one ugly fish. That thing about its bioluminescent hunting method is cool though... Anyway, reading past threads on the sit people have 15 or 16 of the medium sized mbuna which i want to keep. Why does everything suggest to get a max of 3 species in a 55?
