	55 stocking?
Fish Guy Mega Fish Posts: 1091 Kudos: 1254 Votes: 2 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	I wass wondering how many firemouths could go in a 55 gallon along with some other fish? I was hoping to grow out a red devil and a flowerhorn in it for a while.

I've never kept one (never wanted to) but at work they're absolutely awful - by the time they arrive they've torn each other to pieces in the bag, and then they rip apart anything else that's put in the tank with them (and continue to kill each other, which is fun - not). Nasty things, I wouldn't trust even a baby with the Firemouths. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!
