Bala sharks and pictus catfish

Question
I am setting up a new fish tank and Im putting bala sharks and pictus catfish in it... they are my two favorite fish and i love the colors... I have a 55 Gallon tank, im wondering how many of each fish should i put in the tank and if u know of any other fish that would be compatible to live with them and that i would also like and that carry the same characteristics and or the same colors... also If u have any recomendations on any kinds of aquarium accessories i should put in the tank? Thanks, Joseph

Answer
Hello Joseph!
You can have 3-5 Bala Sharks/Pictus Catfish (They grow really big!). You can set up some fake/real plants, fake coral, some of those treasure chests that open when the lid is filled with air, etc. You can also put some Algae Eaters or Plecotamus. You can also put in some Sliver Dollars (Not the money! LOL!) in your tank. They grow quite big and are very thin. But If you want to put in all thoses fish you'll have to limit the amount of fish you're putting in. Always have a filter, heater, lighting and food for your fish so they that they're healthier and hopefully live longer.
Hope this helps! :D
