	29 G. Stocking Scheme
Babsie Hobbyist Posts: 129 Kudos: 69 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-Aug-2003	Hi, I have a 29 gallon set up which is currently home to six moss green tiger barbs and 4 bronze cory. cats. What I'm wanting to know is what other fish could I put in there and how many? Basically if this was your tank what would you stock it with? Thanks for your help.

While a 29 is enough gallonage both of those fish (IME) are active fish and would prefer a longer tank rather than a taller tank. That being said I'd first increase the size of the cory school then look @either one larger fish as a centerpiece, or another school of very small (under 1.5" adult sized) fish. Add some nice plants and presto! ^_^[hr width='40%']"Has someone taken your faith? It's real, the [link=pain]http://babelfish.qwertydigital.com/" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link] you feel.

Babsie Hobbyist Posts: 129 Kudos: 69 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-Aug-2003	Okay so I could get some more barbs. What type would you recommend and how many? Like should I just increase the Green Moss Tiger Barb school or should I get another shoul of a different type of barb? Also how many cories could I handle with the addition of more barbs. Also if someone has just seen this post and has another idea feal free to throw it in.

I think they can hold there own against the barbs, but I'm not sure They are really neat fish and are pretty tough when they are bothered IME. Last edited by Nameless at 02-Jul-2005 16:59
