29 gallon stocking plan.

[maddybrat]

I was thinking maybe 1-2 BN Pleco, and a school of glofish, and what else?!

 

[reefdiver]

you r best bet is to go to your LFS see what you like. I would suggest some tetras they are friendly and have a smal bioload.

 

[maddybrat]

I use petco. They usually hAve better qualitity

 

[reefdiver]

i have a mix of tiger barbs,red and blue colombian, black skirt, red high fin, jumbo neons, german blue rams, kuhlis and a red tail

 

[maddybrat]

In what size tank?

 

[maddybrat]

Okay so so far... Maybe something like this.
8 glo-fish
5 panda corydoras
1-2 BN pleco.
Whatcha think?
What else?

 

[reefdiver]

that sounds really good. You can try Harlequin rasbora. i would say you still have room for another school of fish.

 

[maddybrat]

I will definitely consider that!

 

[maddybrat]

So two BN will work?!

 

[reefdiver]

try this site kind of get an idea of the fihttp://www.liveaquaria.com/product/aquarium-fish-supplies.cfm?c=830sh that theres out there.

 

[reefdiver]

they will. I would guess it would be better to get them from 2 different batches. I'm not sure if it would make a difference if you want them to mate.

 

[maddybrat]

Yeah that would be cool.

 

[reefdiver]

what kind of filter do you have? you will also need a piece of drift wood for your pleco.

 

[maddybrat]

20-40 power filter. And does it have to be a bug piece of driftwood?

 

[reefdiver]

no a small one will do.

 

[maddybrat]

Good.. Are they expensive?!

 

[reefdiver]

Maybe 5 bucks and up.

 

[maddybrat]

Okay. Would you recommend getting it while my tank is cycling?

As I said you'll want to stock the tank lightly if you aren't adding extra filtration. You have a fairly poor quality filter there.

I'd reco you do 6 on the panda cories. IME they really start shoaling nicely once you have 6. BN's can be territorial towards eachother. I would reco you add them at the same time. Two BN's shouldn't be needed to keep control of algae in a 29, but if you just like them and want two that's fine. Just supplement them with a high quality algae wafer, blanched veggies like zucchini, and definitely keep some driftwood or mopani in the tank for them.

Are you still thinking about guppies like originally? A group of fancy male guppies would fit in there nicely.

 

[maddybrat]

Maybe. I like my plan!
