Would Three or four Kuhlis, two bristlenose plecos,five or six cherry barbs and a pair of angels be overstocking a 55G tank. My mom is considering getting me a 55G from Chief_Waterchanger =).

just by estimating it thing that would be ok...the rule is one inch per gallon....so take the adult size of the fish and add it up..i would check the compatibility for all of those though

Those are all compatable You could have even more kuhlis and more cherry barbs in a tank that size

Alright how many do you think. Both are pretty cheap so I could get quite a few more =) Let me know. Thanks

Oh yea I forgot I want to put a Cherry Shrimp in there to =). Still compatible?

I know we've talked about this in PMs, but my suggestion for numbers on those fish would be 2 Angels, 2 Bristlenose plecos, 10 kuhlis, 10 cherry barbs, 2 female cherry shrimp, 4 male cherry shrimp. (The shrimp would be alright as long as you use the denser type of plants I PMed you about, and I explained in the PM how they would multiply and provide a nice snack type suppliment for the angels, possibly.

(We have a 55g with 2 juvenile angels, cherry shrimp, 4 bristlenose plecos, 2 brokis (larger species of corydoras), atleast 5-10 kuhlis (hard to keep count when they hide so well), and a betta. All of that gets along just fine, but we also have a huge piece of driftwood filled with several caves, dense plants, broad leaf plants, a clay pot, large pvc pipe for the bottom dwellers to play in, a smaller second piece of driftwood that is a bit smaller than a basketball with dense plants growing into it acting as a curtain of sorts... So the 55g can hold those species you are wanting and be a happy and healthy place.)

But I explained in a lot more detail in the PM.

Sorry I just got that PM(8:08 PM) I was thinking more along the lines of 5 or 6 of each of the barbs and Kuhlis but 10 is great =). So you can disregard my question in my reply to your PM.

Thanks
