Also, here was my original stocking list.
1x - Four Line Pictus (the one I have now)
2x - Sun (eclipse) Catfish
1x - Small Pleco (rubberlip or bristlenose or something similar)
1x - Red Tailed Shark (will be moved to another tank if it becomes a fin nipper)
3x - Angelfish
1x - BGK
2-4x African Butterfly Fish
The ones in bold are the only ones I'm definitely getting. The rest I'm considering.
OTHER POSSIBILITIES:
Frontosa, Blood Parrot, Freshwater Bream, anything really that can fit in a 55 and won't get too large or quarrel with my catfish.
SUGGESTIONS? They would be very much appreciated.
Some questions I have..
Do angelfish need to be kept in schools? Or could I just have one in my tank?
My friend who owns the frontosas said they were the most peaceful fish he's ever kept and would be fine to be kept solo. He keeps them with a few BGKs. Opinions on this?
Could a BGK live happily in a tank with other large bottom feeders?
Can African Butterfly Fish be kept in the same tank together? I've read a few articles that says they're so aggressive they'll attack each other if the share they same waterspace.
