    Are you asking if all of those can go in the 55 together or which of those would we suggest putting in the tank ?

    Well for sizes the Fish Requirement page has that as well as what size tank they need.

    Off hand I know the Peacock Eel isn't on that list but they need 40 gallons and will be about 12" long.

    The leaf fish will be about 5" if I remember correctly.

    It might be easier to look at that and the size chart and see what you really like first then we can give you about how many of each would work

    Everything would be compatible except the needle fish / aligator gar and the dragon gobie. When those fish get big enough will eat anything that could fit in their mouth. The peacock eel ask to see it eat. They sometimes only accept live foods. See if they can get it to eat frozen brine shrimp. And tank needs to be completely sealed as they are great escape artists. The leaf fish are very neat and will eat crickets once they get big enough.

    Angel :

    If my calcs are good they get about 10 inch high and a few inches long too. They aren't too aggressive but the'll eat almost anything that fits in their mouth.
