Can I fit some killies in my 55 gallon. And if so how many?

55 gallon-

3 angels
1 ram
6 cories
2 ottos
3 pearl gouramis
7-10 rummies ( im getting them I dont know how much yet)

Some killis would probably do great in your set up. What kind of killi were you interested in? As they come in various sizes, shapes, and of course colors. Do you have one in mind already? It is hard to suggest specific killis to people, as their availability in different areas of the US, as well as just some even being available, is the problem.

Let us know which killis have gotten your attention, or which ones are available to you.

I saw the Epiplatys dageti monroviae and fell in love. Also I saw this red killie with long fins what is it called?

The Epiplatys dageti monroviae get about 2 inches, and are mop or plant spawners. They are mostly top dwelling killis, in that they are rarely seen in the water column anywhere other then just the surface of the water. And thus, they will rarely go after food that is not floating. They are a hearty fish, that is relatively easy to spawn. As they are surface dwellers, they will do fine with other fish that do not fequent the surface much.

As for the other one, it would be best if you get a name, as there are 1,000s of killis, and many that have long fins and are red. I could not even try to guess the name.

Can you give me a site with pics so i can Identify it?

You can try the American Killifish Association; http://www.aka.org/

But your best bet would probably be to just go a google search for killis, and look through the thousands of pics on there. Just click on the link at the top of google marked images, after you run the search.
