Overstocked, at capacity, or room for improvement?

[veetors]

Hey All,

I was wondering if I might have room for some cory's or some other bottom feeders...

This is what I have in a 55G:
1 Green Terror
5 Silver Dollars
3 Black Phantom Tetras
1 Pleco


I might like to get another Green Terror Cichlid or a Keyhole Cichlid too...

Thanks in advance!

I hope you know that the Green Terror will get big and live up to it's name.....The Dollars will get fairly big, but they and the Tetras will be killed or harassed to death by the GT.

I agree with Dan and the pleco will also get pretty big.

oh....

So you're saying I should maybe give him back...

What about a pair of Keyhole's? Would that work with my set-up?

I'm not too worried about the tetras, they can be tossed in my 15G...

A pair of Key Hole Cichlids are very enjoyable and amiable fish....They are not flashy, but they have great personality....Having them spawn and raise their young is quite an experience.....I would take the GTs back and go with the Key Holes.

Check out the Green or Gold Severum. They're one of my favorites.

They are pretty cool... Do they like to dig around in the sand too?

 

[Dano01]

Most all of the bigger cichlids will dig.

Cool! I like how they do some aquascaping of their own.
