If I understand right the 29gal is planted and 35 isnt?

You can put a pair of cons OR fire mouths in the 29 but they may uproot the plants.
But it would be better to put a pair of cons OR fire mouths in te 35 since they would have a bit more room and you woudnt have dead\uprooted plants.
You could also get a pair of angels for the 29 or 35 or you can make either tank a dawrf cichlid community.

ok that sounds good but i read that most cichlids are agressive

the only one ive seen thats a community fish is the keyhole cichlid

is there ne other communty cichlids cuz i wannna put 1 or 2 cichlids in a community tank(either 29 or 35) with sum other fish which i have not chosen yet

thanks

U can go for rams, apistos, angelfish, checkerboard, and keyholes. I think there are more but can remeber at the mo

 

[juelz]

wut fish u would u suggest mixing with those and what should i stay away from

 

[Krib Crazy]

Ive heard you can put convicts with angelfish (never done it)
And there someone on TFF that put firemouths in there community an there doin fine
You could put a servum int with them but the are kind of large
I would stay away from convicts if you want to put other things in there with them, but it you wanna breed cichlids they are the way to go

 

[beechey]

do kribs go with firemouths?

 

[juelz]

wut cichlids could i mix with smaller fish like tetras, barbs, danios, etc.
