29g stock ideas and bottom protection?

1 x Dwarf Gourami will be OK? Or better 2?

Only one.

Thanks

Do you think it's good idea to add a peat to my filter? Or maybe better to add this? Pura Amazon Media 16oz. // Aquarium Supplies Canada - Pond Supplies Canada - Reptile Supplies Canada // Pets & Ponds

I already have 2 big and 1 small driftwood and my water is like green tea. But pH is anyway arround 8.

Thank you again for helping me!

Or better just leave the pH alone?
Do I need to add a calcium for 2 x Snails?

Also I want to add a Indian Almond Leaves. 4 every 2 months. There is no problem with that?

 

[Rivercats]

I honestly wouldn't mess with adding peat to the filter or worrying about the ph. Also with Indian Almond leaves I add 1 to a tank and wait a week to see how much tannins it releases to see how dark the water will be before adding another leaf. Also I add leaves on an as needed basis. When old leaves get skeletonized I add new ones. I don't have a schedule.

As for calcium and snails... as long as my kh is 4 there is enough calcium in the water. If you have a high ph then most likely you have plenty of calcium in the water.

This sand is ok for corydoras? (0.5-2.5mm):

Thanks

Can I replace a draft gourami by more hardier and healthy banded gourami or thick-lipped gouram?

Because draft gourami can care a very common iridovirus.

Or maybe a betta female.?

Instead of me scanning back through 9 pages of this thread, could you please re-state what all you have in the tank?

 

[Sf1]

Nothing yet.
I planing to buy:
1 x Angelfish
4 x Cory catfish
2 x Bolivian Ram
10 x Harlingen raspboras
1 x Assassin snail, maybe 2 or 3

Thanks

Can I add: Sailfin Molly? Or Platy or Butterflyfish?

 

[cgthebeast]

Can I add: Sailfin Molly? Or Platy or Butterflyfish?

I would say no, Molly's and Platys have high bioloads and Molly (espically sailfins) get 6in. Also can you be a little more specific on the butterfly fish?


I wouldn't add any more fish truthfully because your doing rams and a angel both are territorial and the rams will claim the bottom of the tank while the angel will claim the upper levels

 

[Sf1]

Now I have Angelfish.
What better to put next, Bolivian, Harle Raspbora or Corydoras?
Can I put 8x Harle Rasp. all 8 at the same time? Or 4 Corys at the same time?
