Would 4 juvenile frontosa be ok to add to the tank , they are 2.5" , eating NLS 0.5 sinking pellets, local breeder
From reading they are slow growing and pretty laid back.

The tank turned into a 55 I got on sale, same foot print just taller

Got the rock and black diamond today, rocks in, filter and plumbing is done. Will start rinsing the BD tomorrow morning.

Still haven't locked down whether to have the Multi's or Gold O's
I have narrowed down the choices to
Multi's or Gold O's

Brevis,
From talking and reading the Brevis seems to be more likely to succeed as a second Shellie in the 55g

What mix of the three listed would more likely to succeed?

Just looked at the last pic and my feeling is that you have a bit to much substrate. It should not be much higher then an 3/4" above the black trim. The rule of thumb often quoted in LFS about a pound per gallon in my opinion is wrong. Also the rock should be on the glass and not the substrate.
