Tetra Fan Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004	As said before, don't put the ID shark or the Common Pleco in a 55. Common plecs grow about 16 inches and ID sharks get about 45 inches +. They are monsters. As for the Firemouths, they only get around 6 or 7 inches. You would probably be fine with a pair of them. They are fairly peaceful towards smaller fish so if you wanted to add some tetras or cory's, it would be do-able. Last edited by Tetra Fan at 15-Jan-2006 16:06
