	Firemouth Stocking options
Gills Hobbyist Posts: 53 Kudos: 41 Votes: 0 Registered: 06-May-2004	I have a 29 gal tank with a firemouth cichlid in it and I like really beautiful fish. What are some good fish to add to the aquarium. Any suggestions will help. Thanks

I had a mean firemouth but it was only agressive towards other cichlids, never bothered my giant danios or bottom feeders (cories and a BN). Giant danios would be too large for a 29g, but maybe another smaller type of danio would work. I also like the tiger barb idea. Have you thought about any bottom feeders for the tank? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
