	stocking suggestions
kloned Small Fry Posts: 8 Kudos: 8 Votes: 0 Registered: 01-Jun-2005	i am about to get a 55g tank and im planning the fish right now. i'm going to put the fish i have currently in my 20g in the 55g which are 4 zebra danios,3 guppies,3 neon tetras, and 6 cory cats. i want to make it a community tank with maybe a pleco, other various tetras, mollys or platies. do you guys have any suggestions? my main question would be what kind of centerpiece fish should i get? would blue gouramis do well in that kind of tank and how many? thanks!

The Danios wont nip the guppies? A betta will most likely attack the guppies. Edit-Maybe a couple of dwarf gouramis? Maybe you can just add more danios and tetras to make huge schools?
