55 gallon tank.

[Sabo2020]

I just got a 55 gallon tank and I wanted to put in it mbuna cichlids, tiger barbs, and picture catfish. How many of each could I do in a 55?

Mbuna cichlids come from hard water and Tiger Barbs prefer neutral to acidic water, so they are not a good combination. Pictus (not picture) catfish prefer neutral water as well and they get large - 5 inches or so and are very active, so 55 gallons is the minimum size for them. I'd stick with Mbunas alone.
