	Saw These Fish At LFS....
Brian1216 Hobbyist Posts: 97 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Apr-2005	The fish that i saw and liked at my local LFS today were: Pearl and Moonlight Gouramis, Bolivian Rams, Keyhole Cichlids, Kribs, Rummy Nose Tetras, Black Neon Tetras, Black Phantom Tetras and Tiger Barbs. What would be a good mix/number for my 29 gallon? Thanks.

Brian1216 Hobbyist Posts: 97 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Apr-2005	It's not a problem to put 1 Ram, 1 Keyhole and 1 Krib together? I also will probably go with some Cories for the bottom. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Very nasty buggers, deserve to be with other African fish. Mixing african cichlids with south american ones will be a bloodbath. Dont try it. Heres a couple options: 1 Pearl Gourami or Moonlight Gourami 1 Bolivian Ram 1 Keyhole Cichlid 6 Black Neons OR 2 Bolivian Rams or 2 keyholes 6 Rummynose Tetras 6 Black Neon Tetras OR 12 Tiger Barbs 1 Krib (be wary though) OR 12 Black Phantom tetra 1 Krib OR 4 Keyhole Cichlids Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

Azrael_Darkness Fish Addict Posts: 547 Kudos: 420 Votes: 8 Registered: 26-Oct-2004	I say: 2 bolivs 6 rummies 6 black neons 1 bristlenose or rubbernose and you might even be able to get away with the gourami in there to. The reason I would get 2 rams is they do better in pairs and also they seem to interact with eachother more then other fish.

Untitled No. 4 Big Fish Posts: 488 Kudos: 452 Votes: 33 Registered: 07-Nov-2004	I would also suggest keeping 2 rams. One ram is nice to look at, but boring. Two rams, especially if they pair up, will provide hours of entertainment. Even if they don't pair up there will be some interaction between them, which is still better than one bored ram, in my opinion.

Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	What about some loaches? Yoyo's and zebras are cool! 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric

djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003	true, but you would have to revise the list to incorporate them, and then you'd have to drop other fish (ie. cories, bn) If he/she likes cories better, then there isn't much room for loaches.

greenmonkey51 Fish Master Posts: 1571 Kudos: 1692 Votes: 5 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	I would sat drop a school of tetras and add a couple of gouramis since pearls like to be in small groups.

Brian1216 Hobbyist Posts: 97 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Apr-2005	So maybe: 3 Pearl Gourami 2 Bolivian Rams 6-8 Rummy Nose 6 Cories How's that?
