Stocking questions and suggestions 29 gallon

[bobzond]

First let me thank this forum for helping me thought my first 29 gallon cycle. I am fully cycled according to water tests and my LFS and have some questions about stock levels. My current stock is as follows from the last couple weeks.
2 platys, 7 neon Tera's, 5 harlequin rasboras, 1 dwarf flame gourami, clown pelco and one female krib.

I have an eheim 2213 filter and do weekly 30% changes

Could you all please let me know your thoughts as to where I am currently on stock levels and any suggestions other low level fish.


Thanks

Get a male krib to make a pair then next I would get a pair of long finned rams they are the ones in my profile pic

I wouldn't say that will work out. Kribensis and rams are both cichlids and once in breeding condition you will run into big issues. They will fight for a territory , especially in a 30g.

You're well on your way to being stocked in my opinion. I would probably add another platy (depending on your sex ratio) and a few more harlequins and call it good. Adding another krib could turn your tank into a war zone if they decide to breed, and adding another pair of cichlids would almost certainly end with dead fish.

I have a breeding pair of rams and a breeding pair of kribs in a 100l tank not sure what that is in gallons but they get on fine I have to seperate fry at an early stage which is a lot of extra work for me but there is deffinately no scrapping!

There will be... At one stage there will be.

Tbh I'm surprised it worked them being together let alone both pairs breeding maybe they're popping out fry to build a school of soldiers to plan an attack lol.

I appreciate the advice!! I really don't want a breeding pair of kribs however I would love another female if you all agree this might work. 2 questions would either work?


1. Would adding 1 female krib and a female Bolivian work?

2. 1 ram and another bottom fish, not sure what other lower level swimmers there are.

Any ideals

Does any one think adding 4-5 Cory's would be okay? How about a female ram? Any advice?
