New 29 gallon tank

[Paradise_Gourami]

Im going to get a 29 or 30 gallon tank soon. im planning on putting all my fish from my 10gal into it(listed below). What would be a good addition to the fish i allready have(they all get along great). i migh move the plattie into their own tank.

How about upping the tetras to a nice school. Six or so.

1 blue or opaline gourami or 2 dwarf
5 tiger barbs or 6 cherry barbs
more black skirts
Would these be good withi my tank or what would be better?

Hi Paradise_Gourami

A 29 gallon tank is a nice size. You will really enjoy it! And planning it is great fun, too!

You mention, in your signature, a "dwarf catfish." What is this? If it's a cory of any kind, you should really add a few more. You will see the difference in his behavior. Because they school, they need companions of their own kind. I'd add 2 or 3 more and perhaps get 3 of another type of cory, too. Kuhlii loaches are a good choice, as well. Get at least 3. These fish would give you an interesting bottom.

For the top, I'd stay away from the blue or opaline gouramis. A pair of pearls or moonlight gouramis would give you more agreeable fish and both of them are lovely.

The center level could house a school of glowlight, neon or cardinal tetras. Or any of the many beautiful tetras that are available. Barbs could get nippy and I would avoid them.

A few guppies would add activity and color. Platties would do the same.
