What to put in a 29gallon?

[arcab4]

Question,

I have a 29gallon tank. There are about 7 ottocats and a few amano shrimps. the layout is very similar to the amano tanks on this website (the same rocks, vals in the background, and wide, wide space filled with glosso).

Since it's pretty much empty, I was wondering if anyone could suggest what i  could keep in it.

I was interested in some german blue rams etc. any ideas?

Thanks!

Johnny

This is just me, but i would make it a barb tank. They look stunning, i just love the way they school with each other, swiming up and down left and right. Its great fun to watch them tussle over food and anything else. But thats just my idea.

Barbs are a good idea, maybe some docile Gouramis or Angelfish.

Angelfish and barbs are great choices, I've kept both, and also you should definitely consider some cichlids or tetras they too are great.

I'm all about the cichlids lately, but barbs do sound like a good idea.

You should put Figure 8 Puffers and green scats in there that would be cool!or maybe a convict,a firemouth,a serverum,a jack dempsey,a oscar and then later on get a way bigger tank like a 125 gallon

Put some nice Boeseman's Rainbow Fish in there ;D ;D ;D That would look great with the otto's

[glow=Navy,strength,width]rainbow fish would look cool in there with the ottos, or maybe some blue rams. they are really cool too, depends what your tastes are  8)

I would go with the rams they are so much fun to watch.  They slam the brakes every few inches or so it's amazing!!!! They could stop on a dime ;D And their colors are outstanding!

New Guinea Rainbowfish!!!!

All you need is a pair of males and suddenly you will have a shimmery red wonderful to watch tank.

(They love to be fed by hand too!)

;D

[/quote]They have red stripes down the side and a small greenish, blueish patch to the left upper making it look like the american flag. ;D

ohhh...... ok thanks

i still think you ought to go with a nice little school of tiger barbs. i'm going to do that in my new 25 gallon. Maybe you could add some bala sharks or a red-tailed shark. clown loaches are fun too.
i don't have anything against gouramis though - i've got two. but barbs are so fun...  ;D ;D

I finally saw some flagfish at my lfs.   They were a little under $5 each. They're pretty cute. But I don't have anywhere to put them.   oh well.

 

[ryanp15]

He's already decided on what to put in keprydak. ;D

Cillana no way! $5! That's way to much! Mine where 99 cents each! I don't know maybe I just got a deal. ;D
