Need Help With Stocking A 29gal

[hjkaga]

i currently have 8 zebra danios, 2 white clouds and 2 corys that will be going in the tank. what else could i put in there? i am looking to add more color and variation. I like angelfish, dwarf gouramis, mollies, guppies, etc. thanks.

I wouldn't reccomend angelfish, for they may torment your other fish. Careful with mollies, too; they're a bit fin-picky. I'd get 3 or 4 more corys for the current ones. Guppies and gouramis would work okay.

no u should get some kuhli loaches to add to your tank because they are in every way a beautiful asset to your tank once you get them in your tank. and i would also suggest a albino sucking loach which is another nice looking colourful fish

Get 4 more white clouds, and 4 more corys. Also one dwarf gourami.
White clouds and corys are schooling fish so they really have to be in groups of six or more in order to be happy. I would only get one dwarf gourami since two males will fight.

Oh and I wouldnt recamend a albino sucking loach aka albino chinese algae eater. They get really aggresive.

i will make sure i add more corys and white clouds. my son likes the blue coloring in the male dwarf gouramis so one of them will be great. could i add anything else or would this make it full already?

 

[chibi]

You wouldn't be stocked to the limit, however I wouldn't reccomend any more.

 

[hjkaga]

how about a total of:

8 zebra danios
6 white clouds
6 corys
2 german rams
1 dwarf gourami

I am now going to be getting a baby black ratsnake later this month so the 29 gal tank will be turned into his cage. I am getting a 20 gal tank with him though so I will be turning that into a fishtank.

So now I need to figure out what all I can put in the 20 gal. I will have an aquaclear 50 filter on it and sand for substrate. I am using fake plants in it.

I have am putting my 8 danios and 2 corys in it. I will be adding 4 more corys to make a shoal of them. I want to add some cardinal tetras and something else, if possible. I figure at least 6 cardinals. How does this sound and could I fit something else in or would it be full already? If I put something else in I am thinking maybe a dwarf gourami???

To tell you the truth your 29 gallon has a capacity of around 20 (small) community fish, it's all personal preferance... and personally I like neon tetras get a school of 6 of em lol

8 danios, 6 corys and 6 cardinals? Sounds good. You could fit a dwarf gourami in there, just be sure to do more frequent water changes because it's quite a bioload in there with him.

 

[hjkaga]

thanks.

I'd get a couple burmese border loaches.

 

[hjkaga]

yeah, i'd stick just with thay and not get the DG, better to be understocked IMO.
