	Are any more fish possible?
Gills Hobbyist Posts: 53 Kudos: 41 Votes: 0 Registered: 06-May-2004	I have a 29 gal tank with 1 leporinus faciatus, 2 blue tetras, 4 corydoras, 1 swordtail, 1 rainbow shark, and 2 giant danios. Is this overstocked, or can I add more fish?

The Leporinus will definitely outgrow a tank that small. Also, IME they are REALLY mean... -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

I think you may be able to get away with it in the short term, but in the long term it is simply not going to work out. Take it out, and then i would say you have room for more.

That thread got de-railed and has been closed. I also concur that the leporinus needs a much larger tank as I've seen them 12"+. I would also trade the giant danios and get 2 more swordtails (females if the one you have is male) and some more tetras. what kind of blue tetra are they anyway? Jason

Most of them do like to be in schools. Your cory group school also increase in number. Livebearers tend to like friends but I don't have personal experience with swordtails. Your shark and giant danios are rather large fish. Getting rid of the danios would probably be a good idea. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
