Fish Fanatic
So I have a new-to-me 29 gallon fish tank. I would like to have it as a community tank.
Stocking IDEAS:
Please note that I will NOT be getting all of these, but if I choose a species I will get the number I say below
6 trilineatus corydoras (I already have 1, lost the others to illness)
5 scissortail rasboras (too many? I already have 2)
3-5 guppies
3 platys (doubt it)
5 glo fish
1 less than 8 inch pleco HERBIVORES ONLY PLEASE (to eat the malaysian driftwood in my tank)
5 cherry barbs (are these fin nibblers?)
5 neons
Or I may just go with a pair of dwarf puffers or a trio of electric yellow mbuna cichlids, but I'd rather not.
Any suggestions are gladly welcomed.
I also need plants!!! Please message suggestions!
I know I need more sand. The tank is foggier than it looks in the pic because I've just now put the sand and rocks in. The rock formation isn't set in stone (no pun intended) It was just an idea of how I want it to look. The wood is two pieces leaning together (for extra hiding places etc) I want some kind of grass plant to put on the floor and some kind of moss to put on top of the flat rocks. I'm getting a bubble bar to place along the back wall. The heater I have in there is starting to make a buzzing noise, so I'll probably get a new one. I also want a solid color background, but I may just get a classic one.
Here are some pics so far, sorry for the water smears!
