29 Gal Tank

[royals82]

I am getting ready to buy a 29 gal tank, and I want to know what type of fish would go well in that size tank.

You could add shoaling fish, singular fish. In my 29 gallon which I am cycling now I am going to have:

2 BN Plecos
3 Sterbai Cory
3 Guppies
6 Black Widdow Tetras
and maybe some neon tetras if I can fit them in.

There are endless possibilities! (Well maybe not endless but you get my drift!

You really have to decide if you want a really active tank (think tiger barbs, danios) or a peaceful tank (think angelfish, tetras). Or a tank with just 1 or 2 larger fish.

I have a 30 gallon with:

6 red eye tetras
4 serpae tetras
3 black phantom tetras
6 zebra danios
3 black mollies

The tetras all shoal together and it's really beautiful.... the mollies add constant movement and are a great clean-up crew and the danios add constant bouncing off the walls....

I'd say get maybe:
6cories [bronze, peppered, albino..whichever you want]
2angel fish
and maybe a few smaller fish?
maybe something like tetras or something?

Our 28gal currently has
1 female betta
6 julii cory
6 porkchop rasbora
4 harlequin rasbora
1 hillstream loach

I also want to get a blue ram as well for the tank

As others have said, it just depends on what sort of tank you want.

One of the best looking tanks I've ever seen had an angelfish, and group (8-10) harlequin rasboras, a pair of german rams and a small group of panda cories. It was heavily planted with silk plants and a few caves/wood pieces.
Just beautiful...

Well if you like that perhaps get the following:
1XAngel fish=6"
8Xharlequin rasboras=16"
4Xpanda cories=8"
=30"=30gallons worth of fish(it's one inch over but that's okay)
That is probably the max amount of fisht aht you should get with 29gallons..
i knwo you wanted the german blue rams...
but they're very delicate fish and do not have a large life span,
they also require perfect, crystal clear water.
So i do not recommend them
