New 29 Gallon!

[Davy]

Yesterday I finally got a bigger tank. A 29g! I know there have been millions of stocking questions for 30g size tanks but I ALMOST know everything I want. It has a penguin filter with bio-wheel for filtration and a single 20 watt(I think) tube . Not very much light. Ohh well.

For fish I was thinking of putting my two pristellas and two bloodfins from my ten gallon in it and then getting a few more. I have always wanted angelfish so the best number of them would be 1 for my size tank right? My only question is bottom feeders. What would be best. A small school of cories? Something else? Here is a list of the fish:

1 Angelfish
4-5 Pristellas
4-5 Bloodfin Tetras
3 Cories (different bottom feeder?)

Does this sound Okay? The tank will have some live and some plastic plants with a piece of wood in the middle. Any other suggestions for fish would be appreciated.

that sounds okay you might like to have some haruqlin rasboras and have 3 of them and 8 total tetras 3 cories (i LOVE peppered) and 1 angel fish

ya. 3 corys sound like a plan! My 29 now has 3. all different, but the oldest tank inhabitant is now getting used to the 2 new kids in the tank

So 3 cories is good enough for a 29? What do I feed them? Won't the other fish eat it before it gets to the bottom?

Igor The Cat, what size tank do you have?

i almost have the same problem with my fish in ym 20G but i put some food on one side and all the bottem feeders food on the other usally the cory gets it all

That sounds like it will work. Thanks beaver. I have another question about fishless cycling. I have heard that you can put in all the fish in one it is done cycling. Should I put the angel in right away or after other fish have been in for a while? Only 1 angel right? I don't want them to fight or for it to be overstocked.

i have a 10

If you plan to take fish from your 10 gallon, than what are your plans for the 10 gallon?

I think that my sister is going to take the 10g so she can keep her beloved guppies. For some reason she really likes them.
