I got a good deal on a 30g which is going to go in my bedroom. I have a bit of time to decide on stock, have to save $ for hood, light, etc.

So what to put in a 30g....I currently have:

75g Oscar and sev
30g gourami, rummynoses, kuhlis, clown plec
29g breeding cons
20g pearl gouramis, tetras, BN
10g QT
2.5g betta and dwarf rasboras

I tend to like larger fish....would a JD or salvini work in a 30g? I've had shellies, not really interested in other Tangs or Malawi.

Not really sure at this point, just trying to get some ideas...

jd nope - minimum tank size would be 55g.
i dunno about salvini.
how about a pair of keyhole cichlids?

what about a firemouth?
Or maybe a group of rams?

I've never had jewels or yellow labs....any thoughts on which are easier to breed, and how many I'd start with either type?

Thanks again

TA-DAAAAH - Anomalochromis thomasi !!!

My yellow labs breed like rabbits, or so it seems. Get a male and several females and you'll have more babies then you'll know what to do with. One of my females is always carrying eggs/young.

If you have more than 1 male in that size of a tank you'll have some aggression problems so try to stick with one male. Is this a 30 gallon long or standard tank. A long would be better for the labs.

I agree with OldTimer, Yellow labs are easy to breed. I agree with his stocking plan too. If your looking to breed them i would go with yellow labs.

How about an amazon biotope? A couple of angels, hatchetfish and some cory cats.
