	south american tank
sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	I just bought a 29 gallon tank, and set it up yesterday. It has a natural looking river rock substrate. I wanted to make this a South American tank, but I need ideas. I wanted a school of six to eight cories, maybe an angelfish or two, but I really can't think of much else. The only thing that I'm set on are the cories. What are some good fish to put in this tank? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I have a 29 gallon tank; 4 Ps. Saulosi and 5 Zebra Danio's and some people would say I'm overstocked. BTW, I don't know if cories are compatible with angelfish.

I'm not sure I really want any angelfish, my sister wants them. I just need some ideas on other kinds of fish I can keep.

I would love a pair of bolivian rams, but I'm having a hard time finding them. As for tetras, I'm not really a fan, but penguin and black neon tetras do look nice. And yes, opinions are welcome.

All these fish go together & need the same water requirements. There are alot of Corydoras & Tetra's to choose from. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
