I'm just wondering if I've overstocked. I have a 55 gallon tank, have two aquaclear 70 filters on it. The substrate is a white sand with two decent sized rocks in one corner, some artificial plants along the back and some smaller ones planted around the rock and root decor on the other side of the tank.
I have a black ghost knife fish who will be the "centerpiece" once he grows. I've read many different things about how 55 gallons is pushing it for one and such, at first I was just going to keep it in it, but it looked a little empty.
So I added in four balloon belly mollies, I figured if I got them while the bgk was still little things would be ok and after couple of days of those five getting along, well I just added in two gourami and a rubber lip pleco.
I know the gourami's will grow to be about 6 inches, the rubber lip pleco around the same size. The bgk will get up 18 inches or more, and the little ole mollies will be 3 inches.
I'm still thinking about adding in one more decent sized fish but have I already pushed the limits?
