That, combined with the fact that they need to be kept in schools, means that they need large tanks to be happy. Fifty-five gallons will not be large enough long term for a school of silver dollars. Another thing worth noting is that your knifefish will also outgrow that tank. They can easily top eighteen inches, and get way too big for just fifty-five gallons of water. Just keep that in mind. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
