55 gallon tank

[pat short]

I need to know how may fish I can have in this size aquarium? :help:

Depends if you want small fish like clowns, chromies and basslets etc. Or less larger fish like a small tang and a dwarf angel like a flame or coral beauty.... You can have like 8 small fish. OR like 5 med size fish

You definitely should see it!!! They have some cool behind the scenes stuff on the DVD also. The animators had to learn to scuba so they could observe the fish and other critters. It is so funny to me having seen the movie first...that when I see an actual type of fish how it acts so much like it's character from the movie. They did a great job with it and it is one of the few animated movies I can watch over and over. I love it! :happyfish

Hi! So I finally got "Finding Nemo" & watched it! You are right! What a cute movie & the fish behavior is so true!
However... Why didn't you warn me that it was going to start out so sad & make me cry within the first few minutes???? No one told me this was a SAD movie!!
Thanks for motivating me to watch the movie! I can see myself watching it many times!

Tangs need a 6 ft tank. the are too big for a 55 gal. they get stressed and die. I would stick with smaller fish. clowns, royal gramma., firefish, gobies, blennies.
What fish do you have alive right now,

Birdmom, glad you enjoyed it!!!!! Sorry about the sad part though. Did you watch all the extra features on the DVD? Loved the story of how they did the animation!
Sorry about our offtopic conversation.
