Stocking Ideas For A 29 Gallon Tank

[NorthEastFisherman]

I'd order another.

Would two males get along together?

I have something similar running for the past 5 months, Lets see some pictures!

 

[Questions?]

it depends on if they have objects to break up their sights and if they have places to hide if one ets to agressive

Although possible to sex Bolivian rams, it is very difficult unless they are spawning. Two males will get along fine, as long as there are decorations for them to get out of each others way, on the rare occasion one gets aggressive.

This is from yesterday or the day before.

Oops, sorry didnt see that. I think ill have enough decorations and plants to keep them from fighting.

No worries.

It should be just fine for two rams.

My tank is currently becoming a blackwater tank,

What does the above highlighted statement mean?

Blackwater refers to the darkening of water from a build-up of tannins. Tannins naturally leach from wood, leaves, and other organic matter in rivers and streams in South America.

It can be done by adding driftwood, leaves, or peat moss. Personally, I'm not a fan of adding extracts, but I'll be adding some peat moss to the filter of my new tank soon.

Thank you

. I am currently using coloured stones in my tank but I find they look very tacky. Any advice on which base looks the best and is easy to maintain? I want my tank to look as much like a river bed as possible.

Any help appreciated.

Stack some 4 inch round smooth stone and make it come from an angle to the center of the tank and put either a dark brown, sand, or blackish color of sand. Chuck in like a handful of small pebbles (smaller than pinky finger nail) and scatter them out. Put some ruffled swords, maybe an anubais, and java fern around the smooth stone. BUT back onto what i was asking, you guys think i should order another Bolivian Ram or would it be overstocked? Or should i wait and see if i like their attitude?

Thank you. Sorry for interrupting your thread.
