| Catfish are nocturnal, so if it's activity you want, I'm not sure that a catfish is the way to go. |

I have a pleco and I like it but he hides most of the time.Hes not afraid of me though o-o I like majestic fish as well thats one of the reasons I like larger fish they look majestic. So yeah its supposed to calm me down. I like angel fish but probably will tend to hide much and I think they need to be in groups. | |

| Angels are cichlids, they won't hide a lot. They also do great as singles.
I'm not sure that there's a fish out there that matches all of your criteria.  | |

Though with angels I wouldnt mind keeping more than one I just dont know if three or four would do fine in a 55. | |

| you could do some research into pike cichlids, they are aggressive fish, depends on what species you get as to the size and they love live foods. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/article...e_cichlids.php
above is a link to the, but check on the sizes they get depending on the species.

| Angels are very hard to sex as juvies. Breeding pairs do well together, but you often don't know you have a pair when you are buying the juvies.
We've already been down the Oscar road. All puffers, except dwarf, are brackish water fish. Most going full marine as adults. | |

| There are some puffers that are exclusivly freshwater, here is a link: http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/pred...ufferfish2.php
Most do require a tank of 100+ gallons though, and I wouldn't want to price them because they are hard to get your hands on. I was checking out a Tetraodon mbu and it was 100$ and very small at the time. | |

| Cichlids don't tend to hide.
I'm not sure where you could get them. As I said before, the fish you are looking at are not readily available. | |

| Well, that's the hard part of owning an oddball fish. Usually they aren't very common. | |

and it looks majestic yet powerful O: but is this fish? Like is this maximum size will it be okay in a 55g? and if so. What substrate shoiuld I use? I know I can use plants with these or so it says. <3 I found my perfect fish <3 its rounded to a point its long and it has those cichlid lips <3 (the really thick ones) and even if its sedentary because it is a cichlid it wo nt be hiding thats the actual problem I dont mind if it sits down more I just want it to be less shy. O: Is there a specific name for it? like common name? | |
