55 Stock Ideas For A 55 Gallon Aquarium

Do you have a empty 55 gallon aquarium and need some idea's for what to stock it with? Today I share some fish suitable for living in a 55 gallon aquarium.
NOTE: In the video I mentioned quantities of each fish I would add; that was based on tanks housing those fish only...if your going to mix some of the species listed that are compatible, the quantity of that species depends on tank mates.

[@colonelsanders3512]

I started with a 5gal. then 10gal. then 20gal. then long 20gal. then 55gal. Now 500gal... 😂🤦‍♂️ Don’t silver dollar get big?

[@dwsdarius]

Wow, similar story here! There are different species of silver dollars ranging in size, these spotted silver dollars only get about 5 inches, while the wide bar silver dollars can hit 12 inches

[@josealopez23]

I started with 10 gallons then upgraded to 30 gallon. Now I'm saving for a 75 gallon.

[@malnutritionboy]

HAh i started with a 2 gallon that i currently only use to keep baby fry. Then upgraded to a 16 gallon that i have 1 betta and some shrimp. Then to a 50 gallon that i have no idea what to keep in even though i have the tank for a year

[@Wyatt126]

Lol I'm doing the same right now

[@landondosch7841]

Jose Lopez same except I’m getting a 100 gallon tank for free and it’s legit

[@Fishtory]

right on. I have lists for smaller tanks but you are getting to the real heart of the hobby at this size.

[@SurprisedPikacheesecake]

Sadly, I do have an empty 55 since my Oscar jumped out of it and my dog ate him today while I was at work. I was saving up to upgrade him to a 90g next month so now I'm stuck looking at a stupid empty tank. Thanks for stocking ideas.

[@carolineraimbeau1124]

Just watched your 55 gallon tank fish video. Very interesting selections. Gave me good ideas for my 55 gallon tank. Thanks!

[@Fishtory]

peacock gudgeons are peaceful since they're small, but theyll eat anything that fits in their mouth, shrimp, and endler/guppy fry included. I love your idea of pumpkin seed fish, I had some (3) blue gills in a 200 gallon and they seem to take up any space you give them, but also build circle sand nests and decorate the edges with shells and stones

[@dwsdarius]

Thanks dude, yes I've seen the sunfish create those nest in the wild, it'll be cool to see mine do It!

Thank you good video! I just bought a 55 to accommodate my betta fry. (They had several cycled filters and decor from their 50 gallon tub) since I’m probably selling a good portion when they reach the 3 month mark in a couple weeks and I have over a dozen tanks dedicated solely to bettas I was thinking down the line I wanted to use it for a chiclid since these are really only other fish I have interest in keeping my first choice was discus I had 5 of them, years ago when I had a 75 gallon I had for 6 years unfortunately I sold that tank I now live in a small apt and not a house anymore and though I know I can do discus personally I’m not sure 55 is enough,wish I never sold my 75 but I had to move several times. Second choice was a lemon Oscar but all the research says minimum 75, bigger better so that’s out, I really want a larger chiclid I’m not interested in African chiclids or any of the smaller ones I’d be happy with one decent size fish would not require an upgrade any time soon and can live in a planted aquarium since I prefer some plants , Oscar wasn’t a good choice for that either so you’ve given me some ideas to research I got time,looking into this for maybe next year the betta females will occupy this for now but I do have another 35 I use for my sorority. So this is a down the line plan but when I’m ready I want to know exactly what I’m putting in there and have it set up even with the fry to accommodate the future fish that tank will belong to. I still want to keep bettas but maybe not as many as more tanks mean more work why I want something different so also down the line I can sell some of the 5 gallons maybe keep just the 10s and up for my bettas. Work my way down to maybe 7 tanks instead of 14. Has to be a chiclid one is fine I’m so used to taking care of one fish per tank cept my sororities so I’ll research some you mentioned that I thought were interesting.

[@paulcardoza9880]

Great video thank you!

[@dwsdarius]

[@jakeshaffer9176]

I’ve had my 75 gallon running for about a year and a half, I’ve got 2 nice hand sized bluegills, 3 crappies, a couple of smaller 4 inch bluegills, 4 bullhead catfish approaching 6 inches, and of course a chunky pleco that never misses a meal.

Dang this was an awesome video! I have a 75 gallon that I need stocking ideas with and a 55 but I'm thinking I'm gonna go with Geophagus tapahos on the 55

[@DriftDweller]

I'd love to create a 55 tank with nothing but 25 tiger barbs, or any barbs really, they're all awesome. Awesome video as always. 🔥👊🏽🐠

[@dwsdarius]

Thanks, yeah I imagine that they'll be more interactive with such big numbers

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

OG Awesomoby I just did this with a left over 30g I had and old hob filter. 20 tiger barbs. Such an underrated fish. They school very tight and spend all day swimming end to end never stopping. Keep the decorations very limited as they do like to hide. I left mine with 1/2” sand and nothing else in the tank. Most underrated setup in the fish world imop and wish I had done it much sooner. In a 55g I would personally do 30-40 tiger barbs with a couple clown loaches. For some reason they will school together so no need for 6 it more loaches and a bigger tank for them. Eventually the loaches will get large but they grow very slow so long as you have somewhere to put them in a few years you’ll be fine. They feed like piranha so there is never food waste rotting away and with 20 barbs and 3 clown loaches in a 30g I only run 15ppm weekly nitrates feeding frozen brine shrimp once a day 2 cubes a day. All that with an old school 10yo emperor 400 I pulled out the closet lol. I’m running factory filter pads though as I like how they prevent bypass in this particular filter and they are only like $6 for a 4 pk on amazon. I then run a bag of seachem matrix in one chamber and in the other I run a bag with 1 cup or zeolite and 1 cup black diamond carbon. Mixed in the same bag. I do this to reduce nutrients with the carbon as well as remove some of the ammonia with the zeolite before it’s consumed by the bacteria. I then alternate biowheel chambers monthly as for which side gets the zeolite as to not over starve one side. Less of an issue as the wheels mostly get unfiltered water from the 2 stage pump but extra caution I still take to not over power either side. I’ve actually started using zeolite carbon mix in most of my heavy stock tanks after media to suck up ammonia missed on first filter pass. I’ve seen 50% reduction in nitrates from doing this so if you are not ready for this kind of filtration you’ll likely see 2x the nitrate levels I do in my 30g and might need to stock a little lower. If you fully understand how zeolite works then don’t use it till your tank is very established and mature. If you introduce it too soon or before biomedia you risk a tank crash from over starving the bacteria I’ll add on most my tanks I’m running multiple filters as they are much larger and much heavier stocked. As a result one typically ends up with one filter dedicated to mechanical filtration and one to biological. If you run more then one filter in similar fashion place zeolite in the non bio filter. In my 125g cichlid tank I actually run three and the third filter is nothing but zeo and carbon. This is much less risky then adding it to a single filter tank. Long as it’s a small amount 1cup per 50g and placed after bio media then it shouldn’t be an issue. I’m going round and round here cause I don’t want someone seeing this to run out buy 500g of zeolite fill Thier filter full and a month or two later when it expires lose Thier entire tank to a massive ammonia spike cause Thier filter is uncycled do to over use and removing too much ammonia to fast starving and killing off the bacteria they once had. This can only be done once a very healthy bacteria colony already is present in tank and filter and even then must be done in small amounts placed after all biological filtration media. On average if your filter flows 10x tank per hour it takes 1-1/2 to 2 full passes through the filter to remove all ammonia completely.. this simply removes the left over 1/2-1 on first pass which prevents ammonia spikes (which all tanks have daily for short times) and as a result it reduces nitrates due to there being less ammonia broken down by bacteria. Zeolite can be recharged several times before discarding. Soak in saltwater for 24h and the salt forces the stored ammonia to discharge. After 3-4x the media becomes to dirty to keep using as its lost much of its capacity.

I have a 75 gallon tank that I have 2 tiger oscars in. I bought them about a week ago, after researching them and seeing how actually playful they can be and puppy like I had to get one. I called all my local pet stores but none of them had any in stock and the hurricane florence was halting shipments so I went out tail tucked and sad haha and me and my family went to walmart. I also have a 10 inch pleco that never comes out from under his dock in the tank so I went back to find him some algae and zucchini wafers and BAM there they were, a tank plum full of oscars. Albino tigers, red oscars, and there they were...two beautiful tiger oscars one was a long fin tiger. I put my hand up to the glass and none of them paid a bit of attention to me except for the two plain tigers. I know that 2 tigers may be a bit much for a 75 gallon but I do have a 125 gallon tank on standby if they need to be moved to a bigger tank. I have no idea whether they are males females or a male and a female but all I know is they were so pretty and I couldnt get one and leave the other as they stuck beside of eachother as if they were friends. I havent come up with names for them yet because id like to find out whether they are boys or girls before I name them. Its a long story but I love these two new fish. If you are on the fence about oscars...if you have a 75 gallon or bigger DO IT! Haha they are amazing fish and they already love to come to the front of the tank when i come into my room. An oscar is the perfect size for the person who likes larger fish but doesnt have a 125 or 200 gallon aquarium. The only downfall is they have to be kept almost alone or with other oscars. Plecos and other boney fish will be alright but even if the fish gets the same size as an oscar they have a pretty strong bite so if you house an oscar with other fish just keep an eye out for any biting or angry behavior, its best to introduce tank mates at a small size around 2 inches to help grow a possible bond while the oscars arent real aggressive.

I have a 75G with a Blue Acara that I absolutely love, as well as some barbs(tiger, albino, & gold), four Cory cats, & a few Molly’s though those will prolly be moved once the Acara gets bigger. My question is can I put a Yellow Kribensis or possibly even an Orange Chromide in with my Acara?? My son keeps asking for a beautiful bright yellow/orange fish & all of my searches keep coming back to those without much information including the Acara ect. Look forward to your response & great video!!

[@dwsdarius]

Thank you, sounds like a nice active tank. You definitely have space for an addition, I don't know much about the orange chromide but if they are anything like green chromides they may eat plants, but should work well with the acara. The kribensis should in with no problems

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

Just recently setup a 30g with 20 tiger barbs just trying to use up some extra stuff I had laying around. Has to be one of my favorite tanks I love how aggressively they feed and how tight the school. Any large number of tigers in any suitable size tank is something I recommend everyone try at least once. I would recommend keeping hardscape very limited even just a little sand and nothing else. They will school from end to end back and forth all day never stoping. One rainbow shark in a 55g is perfect for schooling fish.. they are just enough to keep the school together and tight. I use them in my tetra tanks and it works great.

[@dwsdarius]

Thank you, yes I love the energy of tiger barbs. I've had no luck with rainbow sharks, the ones I get are always very aggressive

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS I’ve heard a lot of people say the same thing. I’ve had several in various setups and really never had an issue. I wouldn’t call them aggressive as much as I would territorial but they normally don’t claim a very large area like say a breeding pair of cichlids would. Generally I can place one small rock cave for them and they will typically only defend a few inches around that rock. I’ve always used the 3rds rule for all my tanks even saltwater. Using lots of hardscape and plants etc on one end.. tapering to completely open free swimming space on the other. Even in my guppy breeding tank I’ve got a rainbow who might pick off a stray fry once in a while but generally only when they leave themselves exposed near him. The only time I ran into an issue is when I had bala and rainbows in the same tank. The rainbow constantly harassed them until I eventually had to remove them cause they were taking heavy scale damage. Both are fish I generally try to keep in every tank as I use intake prefilters and they are great at cleaning all the leftovers that get stuck to them. The only one I’d would even consider being aggressive is the one I have in my 125g juvie growout tank and even then he’s not as aggressive as he holds his own against the cichlids and doesn’t let them punk him. At the same time though I’ve never really kept to norms of what fish to keep with what. I’ve always had good luck throwing in whatever I want in any tank without much issue. I’ve even kept neon tetras with predator haps lol. My local stores have very messed up tank stocking, like keeping loaches with snails and nippy tetra with angles kinda messed up.. so I’m likely lucky that their inability to properly separate fish becomes a blessing to me allowing me to mis match all kinds of things that shouldn’t go but grew up that way before I got them. I’ve only ever had issues with bala and rainbow together, and recently I tried to add two 4” Oscars from quarantine to my juvie growout tank and the other cichlids ate them in less then a day. Pretty odd considering these are same fish that just a few months ago I had in a 60g with tetras and guppies wo issue. Even at 4” they were not even close to the smallest fish in there so I’m at a bit of a loss as to what happened although a lot of those fish have been together for many months so I might be at a point where they will no longer accept outsiders? Really the only problems I’ve ever really had keeping fish is with my adult slider turtle which hunts like an alligator just floating helpless like a log waiting for a fish to get to close. It’s actually how I got started with cichlids as I wanted a fish that would punk my turtle lol..

[@dwsdarius]

Wow, that's cool. I've had problems with my rainbow shark chasing my barbs, but perhaps I'll give them another shot seeing that they are beautiful fish and very active. That's very strange what happened to your Oscar...and not 1 but 2...that falls into the unsolved aquarium mystery folders...lol! Turtles got me into the hobby too, tried to winter them from my pond in a 55g and decided to add 2 jack dempseys and the ball just kept rolling

[@bikerseychelles]

Very nice video but all the fish that you proposed are quite good & interesting choice but they all can stay in 30 gallons easily without any problem but man 55 is already a good size thank 🤪

Amazing video just couple quick corrections: the geophagus eartheater cichlids are schooling fish they do best in colonies of atleast 5-6 so obviously 55 not quite enough real estate for them. Second comment is the scarlet Badis! They actually only get 1 inch long and that’s only the males. Females are even smaller but actually very hard to find... in a 55 you could probably keep about 10-12 but for some odd reason only like 3 of them will end up being female probably

Can you recommend any large fish to put in a 65 gallon? I want something like a flower horn but I don’t think it can go in there. Any suggestions would be amazing! Thanks

A short body flowerhorn could work in a 65g, you just need to be sure you buy if from a reputable seller so that you actually get a short body because they all look the same a juvies...but price my be a little higher. Blood parrots and/or king kong parrots have the same personality potential as flowerhorns and they'd work in a 65g, Haitian cichlids,, severum cichlid, those cichlids are capable of being very friendly (with you, not tank mates)
