Aquarium Stocking Questions Use this board for aquarium stocking questions. Do NOT follow the 1 inch per 1 gallon of aquarium water recommendation that you will often hear at the local fish store. Stock your freshwater aquarium lightly and sensibly and if you need help with stocking your tank post your questions on this aquarium stocking board.

55 gallon stocking question

I currently have the following in my tank:

5 Bloodfin Tetras
6 Colombian Tetras
6 Orange/Flame Von Rio Tetras
2 Spotted Corys
6 Albino Corys (rescued from local "chain" store. that's the reason why I have so many. I may have some friends that may take a couple.)

Is there anything else anyone can suggest getting? I was looking more for a meduim sized centerpiece or a pair of medium sized fish.

What would you guys put in with this mix.

Thanks.

My nephew is going to start a tank soon(29 Gallon) and he really likes the looks of the Colombian Tetras and the Albino Corys. I may just surprise him with the Colombians and 3of the Corys for his birthday. That will open up some "inches" for other fish in my 55gal. I should have included that into my original post.

Thanks.

well if you take off those you have 21" to play with
Maybe a pair of rams or something would be nice, or maybe a pair of angel

a pair of german blue rams or bolivian rams would be great, so would a pearl gourami or an angel, but if you get an angel make sure you get a juvenile so that (s)he won't eat your tetras!

oh, and a blood red parrot would be great too, especially with the extra inches that you'll have
