55 gallon tank with multiple fish. Is that ok?

Question

I just wanted to know if it's ok to have multiple fish in my 55 gallon. I have 2 golden white clouds, one angel fish, one tricolor shark, one pleco, one electric blue ram, one tire track eel and one fire eel.

Answer 1

Not with that mix of fish. Have you looked at the adult size of the eels and pleco. 2 or 3 feet for the eels, and 1 to 2 ft for the pleco.



So they are likely to eat the White Clouds, then outgrow the tank.



Right now, no big problem. In the future, big problems.

Answer 2

Lots of compatibility issues and most of them are not for that tank size.



Get rid of...



Fire eel, it can grow 3-4 feet which is about the size of the aquarium no less then a 125g. The fire eel will most likely kill the tiretrack and eat the white clouds. It might as well kill the pleco.



Common Pleco can grow 2-3 feet needs a 100+



Fix...



Cloud minnow are really coldwater but they do need 6+ schools. They are more then likely going to be eaten by the tiretrack.



Please do some research before you try to stuff incompatible fish with each other. Its really neccessary.

Answer 3

The angels ought to go away the Cory-cats on my own. even while they get greater desirable. that's an extremely good concept to have backside feeders interior the tank with the angels, by way of fact angels desire pristine water, and corries will consume multiple the foodstuff that lands on the backside of the tank before it may start to decay. They ottos might desire to be iffy. opportunities are high, in case you keep the angels properly fed, yet by no ability tempt them with stay foodstuff, it would desire to be ok. Im unsure. Im unsure if it is the main secure determination of adornment. Are they painted or something? the paint or varnish might desire to kill the fish. they might additionally leach resins, etc, into the tank and carry your Ph. additionally,angels get great so do their fins, i do no longer think of that antler formed gadgets may well be secure for greater desirable angelfish. a minimum of do a splash examine first. And definite, stay far off from shells, in addition they'll strengthen your Ph, Angel fish desire a low Ph. 7.0 or much less is acceptable.

Answer 4

No fire eel alone can't last in a 55 more than a year
