    My dad recently passed away and I'm inheriting his cichlids. He has 2 blood parrots, jack Dempsey, and convict in a 30 gallon tank (despite me telling him they'd outgrow it). Is a 55 going to be big enough for these 4 fish? Thanks in advance.

    Condolences. I had a single JD in a 55 for a few years. He seemed happy.

    We'll the frame on 55 is broken so they are in my 75 until I fix the 55. They may just have to stay there instead

    Thanks :)

    Thanks. I just don't know what I'm going to do. My 75 was a reef until 2 years ago, tank crashed after someone watching my tank electrocuted everything. Was going to start it back up but may keep them in the 75 since there are the 4. Thanks for advice ;)
