a2hotz Fingerling Posts: 24 Kudos: 29 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-Jan-2005	Im probably going to get a new 29 gal fish tank.... but I definatly havent decided what to put in there. Im thinking a really heavily planted tetra tank, which I had b4 and was awsome.(and I have xtra co2 equip, flourite and stuff.) I might also get puffers or something. Salt water isnt out of the question but I already have a 55gal SW and moving into a 75gal (And nano tanks end up being pretty lame) I like the natural look... Ideas wanted! heres a link to see my old 20 gal plant tank. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/a2hotz/36ed11d2.jpg

Personally I'd go with one angel, a nice-sized school of harlequin rasboras, a school of cories (C. trilineatus are my favorites ), and a BN. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Hoa dude_dude Mega Fish Posts: 957 Kudos: 888 Votes: 72 Registered: 28-Dec-2004	riri I dont think yours would work.. I think if the kribs want to breed theyd kill everything in the tank But im not sure ~ 2 med-sized Gouramis 2 rams 2 keyhole cichlids 6 Tetras & 4 yoyo loaches Might work But Im not sure ~ A fw puffer community!!! I dont really know the temprament of puffers, but I think you could try, 10 Dwarf Puffers & 4 yoyo loaches or 8 cories or one pleco Last edited by dude_dude at 18-Aug-2005 01:25

greenmonkey51 Fish Master Posts: 1571 Kudos: 1692 Votes: 5 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	Go with the basic south american setup. 2 rams (bolivian or blue) 8 tetras 1 BN Its very basic but its one of the best for smaller tanks.

djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003	But that's too crowded on the bottom. The bn and coried are bottom feeders and the rams usually stick down there two. The tetras are the only mid-water fish there. I say drop the bn or the cories and get a 2nd tetra school or a gourami or something. The top is too empty.
