What fish you have in your tank? Anyone with a tank btn 29-35 G please?

I need help to stocking my fish tank. I have a 30 g long with rena xp 1 and 200-watt heater. I need help to stock my tank for bottom and top dweller.





So I need a real life example I am tired of people telling this and that can get along and some people say keep one inch per sq inch / gallon... I need to know from different people what do they have in their tank? So I can copy exactly from one person.








So just tell me what you have in your tank...





by the way I have few plants java moss, java fern , cabomba and Amazon sword.

What fish you have in your tank? Anyone with a tank btn 29-35 G please?
Hi!


I know exactly how you feel, so many different rules/methods people have. I can't believe I never thought about asking people what their tank set ups are!


Anyways, well I just made the cut, I have a 29 gallon aquarium I got from my grandpa after he passed away and it has had quite a variety of fish in it. He had saltwater in it, I have had goldfish, community, and semi aggressive community before, but this is what is in there now.








--13 female bettas- 10 are Wal-Mart rescues, the other 2 are from Petco and 1 is from Denizens of the Deep I feel so bad for all the poor bettas stuck in cups!





--4 bronze corydoras- doing well and are very happy





--1 dwarf bristlenose pleco- has to have driftwood in its diet and are a tad pricey, I got my little girl from Denizens for 13 dollars





--2 ottocinclus- very cheap fish and really cute, I got my 2 from petco for only $1.50 each








I have 3 large homemade rock hideouts and a heater that keeps the water at 78F. I have a tetra external power filter that is for 30-55 gallons. I also have a ton of plastic plants and some java fern from the driftwood. The tank has tons of variety in my opinion. The female bettas add tons of color for being half dead walmart rescues. They have really perked up and now have shown their true colors. I have a yellow one, several red ones, several green/bluish ones, and several purplish looking ones. The cories do a great job cleaning the bottom gravel and the ottos eat the algae that grows. I feed the cories shrimp pellets, the female bettas tetra betta flake, and the ottos eat the alagea plus whatever else food they find.





There was a little chasing from the female bettas at first among each other, but nothing bad. Since you have a 30 gal long you could easily get away with 2 more female bettas or cories, I could right now but choose not to because currently my quarantine tank is being used as a hospital tank.





Also, contrary to belief bettas aren't boring! My little girls are so funny. Every time I walk by their tank they think it is feeding time and swarm at the top.





Hope This Helps!!!


Good Luck in Whatever Tank Set Up You Choose!!!
Reply:Cichlids can be fun, but it is important to get them while they are still small. As they get larger they get more territorial. I have a Rainbow Peacock Cichlid, 2 Frontasias, and two sharks (freshwater).


Also if you want to add smaller fish that stay small with these, as I have, you can get black-neons because the bigger fish won't eat them. (They are slightly poisonous and will cause a tummy ache.)
Reply:I have a 33 gallon with 3 Bolivian rams. Another 33 or 35 gallon with community fish, 4 cory cats, 1 pleco-who's getting moved to a larger tank soon, 2 platies, 3 Buenos Aires tetras, 3 Black skirted tetras, 4 zebra danios, 1 red tail shark, %26amp; 1 blue gourami. Tetras and danios should be about 5 minimum, I just need to replace them from a few that died.





You should figure out which fish you'd like to have then ask if it sounds good. You could easily have a few smaller scale cichlids in there, or a tank full of community type fish, go brackish and get yourself a puffer, even a few salt water fish would do ok in that size tank, lots of possibilities because that's a decent sized tank you have. Good luck!!
Reply:In my tank, I have mid and bottom dweller. I am planning, (maybe, on adding a dwarf gouramir). Generally, cories and most tetras would get along together.





I have the same exact plants except for the java moss and java fern. But I am going to get the Java Fern.





Email me so we can talk :)
Reply:Well I have, and my sister have, a few tanks. My first one is a 10g with 2 platies, 2 guppies, 2 golden danios, and 2 otocinlus. My 15g has 2 australian rainbow fish and 6 corydoras catfish (about to be 8 yay) My 1.6g has 1 male betta and a snail. My sisters 30g holds 1 pleco and to sharks which i think are silky sharks.





For you 30g I Would say 5 guppies, 5 platies, 10 neon tetras, 8-10 corydoras catfish, and 3-5 otocinclus.


Another choice would be an all tetra or live-bearer tank.


All tetra: A few school of tetras like rummynose, neon ,and glowlight.


All live-bearers: Guppies, platies, mollies, swordtail ,adnd a few others.


***Whatever you do go make sure you get 3-5 otocinclus to keep your tank algea free. You will have to give em a few algea wafers every once in a while though.


Happy Fish Keeping! %26gt;(%26gt;+)
Reply:I don't have a 29-35 g but i have a 10 g. I have 2 guppies (the female is pregnant right now), a zebra danio, 3 glow fish, a black skirt tetra, and a red sarpae tetra. From what i've noticed, the glowfish and the tetras that i have generally stay mid to bottom, and they only come to the top when their hungry or just swimming around, and my guppies are usually around the top of the tank.
