SuperMummy!  Mega Fish Posts: 1207 Kudos: 915 Votes: 30 Registered: 03-Jan-2003   | too many cichlids for a 55g, i think.. either the rams and the angels (not too sure, but the rams are bottom skulkers while the angels more midwater, so reducing the territory issues perhaps) or the keyholes. and two pairs may be too many, once one pair get it on and start spawning |

In my 70g im gonna have a pair of keyholes and bolivains, and maybe a pair of cockatoos. Oh and id get a shoal of tetras as dithers. cfd -------------------------- Billy was a scientist, Billy is no more. For what he thought was H20, was H2SO4 |

| Tetra Fan Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004  | I would say probably 1 Angel so there is no risk of spawning aggression. Also, 2 Rams and only 2 Keyholes would be fine in a 55 gallon. Maybe a school of 10 Tetras. Maybe Rummy's or cardinals(maybe, make sure to get them first and add the angelfish last and at a small size) Get 8 Cory's instead of 6 and the BN would be fine. So you would end up with... 1 Angel 2 Keyholes 2 Rams 10 Tetras 8 Cory's 1 BN |
