 | 55 gallon stocking |
stephane  Fingerling Posts: 37 Kudos: 32 Votes: 3 Registered: 05-Jan-2005 | Hello, I think that I will buy myself a 55 aquarium in the near future, and so for this is what I would like to keep in it: -1 sailfin pleco (must be in 55 getting to big for my 25) -2 angels -12 rummy nose tetras -1 male swordtail -6 panda corie -1 african butterflyfish -2 blue rams -1 or 2 dwarf gouramies -6 khuli loaches So I was wondering would this be too crowded for a 55 gallon aquarium. |

Good luck  Last edited by Theresa_M at 06-Jan-2005 09:13 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |
