29 Gallon Cube

[I Like Rare Fish]

Hello Everyone,

For my sister's birthday, she is getting a 29-gallon cube. She wants plastic decoration, can do floating plants, and a mixture of Sand and Gravel. Stock-wise, she wants Platys and/or Mollies. I have Cory Catfish in my 55 that I am moving over to hers. So Cory Catfish are indefinite. Any showy fish that is ok in a community tank is game for her. She loves Platys/Mollies, so they NEED to be part of stocking.

29 gallons doesn't give a lot to do with, so I was thinking a Dwarf Gourami as well. She isn't such a big fan of Tetras, though they would be fine choices for her. Nothing to complicated.

To narrow my rambling, stocking has to be:

-Showy
-Community Fish
-Easy Keeping
- Include Mollies/Platys, and Cory Catfish

Would this work:

1 Powder Blue Dwarf Gourami
3 Platys
6 Neon Tetras
5 Guppies
2 Cory Catfish

That should work as long as your water has medium hardness. Some of these like it a bit harder and some a bit softer but they are pretty adaptable. I would recommend adding a couple more cories as they like being in groups. One caveat is that you may get a dwarf gourami that can be aggressive, particularly with other gourami (so it’s a good thing you’d only have 1) but sometimes with other fish. Honey gourami are a bit smaller but more mild mannered. You could even have more than 1 in a 29 gallon.
