Well I got a 29g. I have to order the light fixture and a top. I haven't decided what to put where though. I thought I had it planned out, but now I am thinking about all of my options.
I am slowly getting things back to normal in my 10g. So maybe soon the parameters will be normal.

I was going to put my 8 neons in the 29g and then get Harlies and Cories later. I was going to divide the 10g and put the 2 bettas in there. I am definitely getting rid of my 5g so the male betta in there will have to go somewhere. I have a 55g but that doesnt matter because I can't put the neons in there (no space...and an angel).
What would be the best stocking for the 29g?

Option 1:
29g-8 neons, 8 harlequin rasboras, 6-8 cories, 3-4 ottos
10g-divided w/ 2 male bettas

Option 2:
29g-male betta, 8 neons, 8 harlies, 6-8 cories, 3 ottos
10g-male betta, 6 cardinals or lemons

Option 3:
29g-male betta, 8 harlies, 8 tetras, 6-8 cories, 3 ottos
10g-male betta, 8 neons, 2 ottos (the way it is now)

Or tell me what you would what do....

I have head and tailights, rummies, angel, german ram, BN, cories in the 55g. Please don't repeat these tetras or angel... :%)

I would go with option one. Two would work, but from my experience, bettas are really happier with their own private areas.

My Betta seems very happy in with the Cardinals, ottos, C Loach & SAE.

He never wiorries them and they never worry him.

Have a look in [link=My Profile]http://

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
