What Kind of Fish in a 55????

[petekc]

What kind of fish would go good in a 55 gallon tank? I already have 6 Damsels (3 domino, 2 blue, 1 yellow tail). I also have alot of lace and volcanic rock int he tank for lots of play and hiding spaces.

zebra or snowflake eels,
dwarf lion,
fiji devils,

Thanks for the info. Anything else I can put in there besides Damsels? Aren't Fiji Devils a species of Damsels?

Zebras get a little big for a 55 I think. Not to mention they'd probably eat every damsel you got.

yes the lion would probably eat the damsels, but only if they swam passed its mouth... I would disagree on the fact that the zebra wouldnt eat the damsels, because they are two fast for the eel. Not to mention zebra eels are one of the more peaceful morays despite thier 3.5 ft size. I do agree however that it is to big for that tank, considering if I can remember right a 55 is 12 inches wide. HTH

The thing about the lion is, that you might get some time with the lion before it gets big enough to eat the damsels... that doesnt really matter anyway, because no lion except for one of the dwarf variety could go in that tank.
