29 gallon vs. 30 gallon

[kmny34]

What's the difference between a 29 gallon regular tank and a 30 gallon regular tank? Besides the 1 gallon difference!

 

[Andrew McFadden]

29 Gallon 30 x12 x18

30 Gallon 36 x12 x16

30 Breeder 36 x18 x 12

They are longer and imo longer tanks are better than tall

So you can stick more fish in a 30 gallon then a 29 gallon?

Depends on the fish but yes I would say so

The reason I ask is because, I was originally going to get a 29 gallon, but bought a 30 gallon today! I'm going to cycle it and then plan on stocking it with:

7 electric green glow tetras
6 Cory's
1 honey dwarf gourami
1 bolivian ram
10 ghost shrimp (I know the fish will eat them)

Is this a good stock for my 30 gallon? Is it to much or could I get more?

You'll be fine you could maybe do a little more.

You could add another school or two depending on the size of the fish.

Can I put a gold gourami with the honey gourami? Or will they fight?

 

[Scottyhorse]

They might fight, especially if they are both males.

My mom has a Dwarf Flame Gourami and a Gold Gourami in her tank and they've gotten along well. Will it work in every tank? Maybe, maybe not.

 

[Bwiz123]

I have a gold, olpaline, dwarf honey, powdered blue, long fine platinum, they All are fine goin on 3 months

 

[kmny34]

That's what I've heard. The male thing bc they can be territorial. If I got two females do you think I'd be ok?

If she has a large tank with lots of plants and decor, then yes, it could work. I personally wouldn't risk it in a 30 gallon.

What size tank? They might be getting along because of over crowding. They can't make territories if there are too many fish in the tank. Could also be young, too.

 

[kmny34]

I think I'm gonna just stick with one of the two gouramis! Either honey or gold gourami. Not one of each.

 

[kmny34]

You could add another school or two depending on the size of the fish.

What other school fish would you recommend? Not a big fan of neons!

 

[Bwiz123]

Yup. Heavy plants and young, overcrowding is semi nice if its not to much, I have other tanks they divide off into since they can exceed 5 inch some,
