Impossible stock?
I have a 55 gal that I know is going to be massively overstocked but I'm cycling a second 55 right now to divide them up. According to what I understand what I have should have killed each other by now. How old do fish usually get there aggression? I have a 6in Oscar a 4in Dempsey 3 convicts a peacock cichlid a jewel and red jewel both female 3 mixed s.a. cichlids 2 12" rope fish a dinosaur eel bicher 4 3" balas a redtail and a rainbow. Can you guys help me sort them into a livable situation. They have all been fine together for 3months. The only aggression I see is the red tail harassing the rainbow.

Unfortunately cycling another 55 ain't gona solve all your problems. Balas grow to over a foot long, same with oscars, so neither of these fish are viable for a 55g
My therapist says I need a bigger tank . . . . .

Maximum size for Rope Fish is very close to 3 feet, so they will eventually be no good for a 55g too.
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark

The peacock should not be involved at all, totally different requirements than the new world cichlids you have. I don't know much on how to split them up, but definitely put the biggest and most aggressive in the 6 footer. Originally Posted by camaro71454

If I die young bury me in... An 8x2x2 with versa tops and a large sump for adequate filtration;)
