| DUDE! You can put way more fish in it then that! I would just worry about the local lake catfish you put in there! If the cat gets big enough say bye bye to your Africans. Plus all your Africans being small enough you can easily put double what you have in there, they just might become more aggressive as they get bigger! I once saw a local guy who had a 55g that had 70+ Africans in it! It was nuts! Sounds like you have plenty of filtration in as well already. The emperor 400 will run that take by itself alone! |

| Yea, I would never recommend putting that many fish in a 55g either. But... I have seen people do it and crazier things have happened. |

| That my friend is the serious fish for very serious fish collectors. Its a Tigrinus or some people know it as a Zebra Shovelnose. A lot of fish enthusiasts consider this the most coveted fish in all of trade fresh or saltwater. It also happens to be a very rare fish and also a very $$$$ fish. If your into serious oddball rare fish like this, like I am, you'd also probably be very interested in things like 3 barred datnoids, mono cichlas, L25 Plecos and blood red arowanas. All of which are rare coveted fish. |

| Love oddballs,
I'll end up putting the cat fish in my 125 when it gets resealed, when he gets to big for it to the grill he goes.
Thanks everyone, do want to get some more rocks. Where's a good place. HRT do you have some pieces that would work? Also seen your cl post and want to come out some time. |
