29 gal stock?

[casey_]

I just accuired a 29gal fish tank for 30 bucks and I was wondering what you think I should put in there... I was thinking chilids and/or maybe moving my 2 pictus cats 1 upside down cat and 1 ropefish into the tank... so lets here those ideas...

my favorite thing for a 29 would be a pair of convicts. And all you need to decorate the tank with is some flowerpot coves. they are really funny little fish to watch and they get to recognize their owners. they would have to be alone in a 29 though.

Psst, don't buy painted fish. That's gross.

^^ yes, please don't. Ditch the painted glass fish.

But....do consider unpainted because they are cute!! (If you can find them :/)

I believe a ropefish will outgrow a 29g. They get pretty big.

I'd go for some tetras and unpainted glass fish. Or some dwarf neon (praecox) rainbows...stunning fish!

"unpainted" glass fish are called chanda and are Great fish. I loved mine before they all passed on. i would highly recommend you get 4 or 5.

Thanks Gourami Swami for the name clarification

your welcome, but You need to know that that 5gallon is not good. The gouramis need more room, and plecs grow to be 20 inches long.
