Firemouth in my 55gal???
« on: August 20, 2007, 04:40:07 AM »
Well as some of you may know I have a 55gal with an albino O, silver dollar, pictus and raphael. Question is do you think I can add a firemouth? Would l;ike to see somerthing else swimming around in there if it wouldnt overcrowd. Must admit I am really enjoying the O, he has alot of personality already. :) :) :)
This is getting expensive! I think I\\\'m gonna need a 2nd job to support my fish habit.

I'd advise against it. You're already pretty crowded in there and i wouldn't add another fish.  Sorry :(

1 Royal Pleco (Panaque Nigrolineatus)

Agreed Joe
It may seem empty now but when the O grows a bit it will start to look full and the rate O's grow at it wont take long Mate O0
