What fish should I get...?

[mike45]

I have a 29 US gallon tank. I have one parrot cichlid and two convicts. They are all around 2- 2.5 inches. I am wondering what would be good tankmates for my fish. I haven't added a new tankmate in about 10 months. I dont know if that would matter though...

So, what fish would you recommend? B)

Not much.

Those three are pretty much going to end up taking up all the space in that tank aren't they? All I know is that they get pretty big and need a lot more space than the average fish.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Hopefully someone who's kept them will come along...

Well, does anyone else have an idea? Because I've had those fish for at least 10 months, and it looks like they have barely grown. All I feed them is basically flake food, ocasionally brine shrimp, and dried blood worms, unless they are going to hit a growth spurt...

Anyone else?

Sorry, I really don't know anything about those species.

There are some folks here who would know. They probably just haven't happened along yet. Have patience.

pendragon!

i agree. you cant add anything to that tank im affraid.

the parrot should reach 8 inches(can get bigger) and needs a lot of space, the cons will also reach at least 6 inches or more and really should be in a bigger tank.

parrots should really have 10/15gallons to themselves. they will also put a heavy strain on your filter.

thats probarbly why your are nor growing so well
