I have a 29 gallon tank that has been established for some time now. A few weeks ago I had 2 neon tetras, 2 head/tail light tetras, a clown pleco, 3 albino bristlenose plecos, and an albino cory cat. Needless to say due to a disease, the 2 neon tetras died as well as the clown pleco (Was treating the tank by salt/heat method with 30% water changes daily) the (assumed to be ick) eventually over ran my clown pleco by forming large yellowish clumps on it and eventually brought it to its death. The other fish however were not infected. The head/tail lights are around a year old, the corry cat i've had since freshman year in college so its now 3 years old, and the albino bristlenose plecs i've had for about 2 months (waiting on them to grow so hopefully i have a combo of male/females so i can breed them). I was wondering what would be a good combo of fish to stock it with to make it a low maintaince community tank. (low maintaince tank meaning just do partial water changes). I did have plants in there but they are now in my 10 gallon tank untill my 55 watt pc lighting fixutre comes in. So eventually, there will be hortwort and anacharis in the 29 gallon tank. What are my options here? I was thinking maybe a large (10-15) school of neon tetras, as i'm not really looking for any more bottom feeders/catfish. Mainly looking along the lines of mid-top water fish. Not really looking for mollies or platys either, as i had a few of those a few years ago and all they did was make babies. 8O Anyways, what are you guys/girls recommendations as well as how many fish? I've heard that even in 10 gallon tanks a group of 6 neons and 6 corry cats don't make that much of a bio load. So if i keep with what i have now, and just add a bunch of neon's here in a few weeks, the bio load shouldn't increase that much should it? anyways, whats the recommendations? Thanks in advance. Oh, btw, I have access to some slate, so I was thinking about making a stacking tower made of slate, if that helps any.
