	2nd go at my 55usgal stocking list
tweaky Enthusiast Posts: 286 Kudos: 164 Votes: 5 Registered: 18-Jan-2004	i might be wrong about this, but isn't it possible to have a school of RTBS? i wouldn't mind a school of them and a few other fishies, because im guessing a school of RTBS would take up most of the room. Cheers

leongreenway Enthusiast Posts: 205 Kudos: 199 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Feb-2005	I have also heard if you keep 6 or more the aggression is shared and there is less chance of dominace from one fish. Just something I heard.

tweaky Enthusiast Posts: 286 Kudos: 164 Votes: 5 Registered: 18-Jan-2004	ok kind of narrowing it down a little now Ok i want a RTBS i used to have one, and it was my lil buddy. Now i want a biggish centrepiece fish, kind of want it to be peaceful as i want about 3 largish schools around the centrepiece and RTBS, ill probably get a couple of good ole bristle for the algae. Cheers

tweaky Enthusiast Posts: 286 Kudos: 164 Votes: 5 Registered: 18-Jan-2004	Ok, ive been out of the game for a couple of months like 5 months to be precise. Now i want to start up again and are wanting some suggestions for a new tank stocking list. Now don't worry about my taste, i want to know what YOU would put in a 55usgal tank if it was YOURS. Any suggestion is a winner, sorry no prize though If able to, could you put the amount of each fish you would put in it. Some vital information about my tank; Fake Plants, Cannister Filter 1200lph, gravel as substate, few rocks, water change will be weekly cheers boys & girls
