So I'm getting some glofish, some big and some small (no barbs). how many could I fit into a 55g tank with 1 electric blue crawdad (he will be up to 6" long max)? Please list all possible combinations for daimios and tetras! Also could I get some small colorful shrimp (like cherry shrimp)?

keep them in schools of 6 or more i think was the standard. cherry shrimps should be fine. as long as they don't fit into the fishes mouths.

since they are small..you can keep more than 6. but i'd go slow and see how it goes.

You could probably do something like 30 glofish - doesn't much matter how many are danios and how many are the tetras, as long as you've got at least 6 of each.

Are you doing a full fishless cycle before adding fish? If not, you only want to add maybe up to 4 fish at once to get up to the full stocking.
