Picking Fish

[Hotevo3]

Hey guys, I was wanting peoples opinion on what fish to stock my 55g with. they do have to get along with the bala sharks and rainbow sharks. whats everyone think? also no fish that eat feeder fish

Tiger barbs,Colombian tetras,giant gourami,tinfoil barb,common pleco,otto catfish,flying fox.How many sharks do you have in there??Bala sharks are gonna need more space.

do you want something you can keep in that tank or something youre going to have to move to a bigger tank or get rid of with the bala sharks?

Giant gourami get to be about 33 pounds. Read up!

Tinfoil barbs also get too big:

well i only have 1 bala and 2 rainbow sharks in the tank. and i will upgrade when i time comes but a 33lb fish is a tad much haha

[DragonFish71]

Yeah, unless you plan to pan fry 'em lol

Thats a TRUE giant gourami, most in the pet trade are 6-9" sometimes 12" fish.

Get some fast fish.

I had a rainbow, it was fast enough to catch and tackle a kuhli on the run.
