I'm sure they may have a lot of knowledge and that's why I'm thinking about trading my bee for something that doesn't get as big. I did think they would max out at about 5,6 inches. My question was about possibly adding more fish and that didn't get addressed.
Like I said if u add more I would move the bee and jewels or keep em no real experience with them. But I would add some basics like red or blue zebra, yellow lab, maingano, rustys, ice blues, and do 1 male 3-4 females.
Yeah i saw your suggestion about adding more auratus. The person I quoted was not talking about you.
It has been addressed. The answer is no, because with aggressive species like auratus and crabro, they are best kept in groups and with other aggressive species. A 55 is just not big enough for an aggressive tank IMO and wih more fish means less room for territories, leading to more issues and deaths. My advice would be to change your stock. Jewels typically don't work out in mbuna tanks. Auratus and crabro are aggressive and the latter is quite large. If you start over, you have limitless possibilities and the potential to have a tank with several fish
