Hello, I'm new here and need some advice. I've recently put up a 55 gallon tank aimed around a Senegal Bichir - currently at 2-3 inches long. However, I'm a bit nervous about what else to put in with him. I've decided on Rainbowfish but would like more of a variety - so, just wondering, would this be too much of a bioload for a 55g?
1 Senegal Bichir
6 Rainbowfish
2 Gouramis
The Rainbowfish are happier in schools and 6 is the minimum amount that will allow me to mix genders (I'd like to as the males like to show their colors off to the ladies) but I would also like a pair of Gourami. It's hard trying to find fish that will not become Bichir-fodder.
Sooo, what's everyone think? Is this too much? Thanks so much in advance!
