Wanna make a tank w/ african cichlids like electric yellow blue ,bumble bee,jewel cichlids.

How many can i have n a 46 g bowfront tank?

How many n a 55 g reg tank?

    Evan with a 55 gallon, You need to stick to smallers species of Plecos, nothing over 8 inches The sailfin, and the regular, AKA, "comman pleco", Get much too big.

    FYI, You should never have more than one Pleco in a tank.

    Check this list from planet catfish for plecoes that would suit your tank
