55 gallon stock list

[jackwagon]

My ideal setup is
7 tiger barbs
1 bristlenose pleco
5 yoyo loaches
3 pictus catfish

I have 2 emporer 400 filters

Is this setup going to work?

And 1 red tailed shark

Remove the pictus and yes it should but I'm not sure on the loaches

Maybe just get 1 pictus haha they are awesome fish. They get large so prepare to rehome him if he grows to big. It should take a while tho!

I would do 3 pictus or the loaches I would do the loaches personally but pictus can live their life in a 55 they only get 4-5 inches at least the normal spotted pictus in most lfs do

No they get larger than that
Much larger
A 55 is not appropriate for a trio

What type of pictus catfish are you guys talking about the 10 inch o es are not spotted pictus cats like I said they only get 4-5 inches now a pim catfish is different it can get 10 inches.

I bought 3 spotted pictus I questioned the store and they made sure it was the right species thank you though

Yours is just fine they prefer groups of 3 I would get 2 more and not get the loaches
