What to put in 30g aquarium HELP!!!

[neontetra0131]

I have an empty 30g aquarium that has been filtering for a month in a half I'm ready to buy fish but I don't know what to put in it!!!! HELP!!!!! Any advice I like freshwater fish maybe cichlids or angel fish I don't give me some ideas

you could put a single green terror in there and a bristle nose pleco , could be fun, but here is another stock which could be fun :

1x blue gourami
10x Cardinal Tetra
6x corydoras(any kind)
and maybe a bolivian ram with them ?

2 angels, 7 panda corys, 8 harlequin radboras or 8- 2" schooling fish

A green terror would be too big for that tank. Pelvicachromis or apistogramma a would be a better option.

Sorry but a single green terror is not right for that tank !!

I would get 2 GBRs or apistos. Two angel fish and a School of some type of tetra.

 

[neontetra0131]

2 German blue rams and two angel fish and about 6 Corey cats? Or maybe 8 cardinal tetras,2 German blue rams and 6 Cory cats

That would work. You could also plug it in to aqadvisor. You could probably go to 150% stocking.

 

[neontetra0131]

Aquadivsor? What's that

 

[elephantnose]

http://www.aqadvisor.com it's a website that tells you your stocking level, filtration level. It will tell you If your fish are compatible. Also will tell you what temperature to keep the tank at. You should check it out.

Brookster I think I'm going to go with your idea but no gourami. Hopefully all the fish will like the sand. I did sand because I was going to go with cichlids but heard these fish are hard to keep happy. I'm a novice so I don't know if I could handle that maybe later on.

You mentioned your tank has been "filtering" for a month and a half, but is it cycled? If it's empty there is a good chance it isn't. I wouldn't even consider GBR's at this point regardless. Once you're good to go, you can't beat a large school of cardinal tetra's with a couple of other larger fish. I have angels with mine. However cardinal's are known to be sensitive so they'd need nice parameters. Good luck!

+1 Gbrs need established tanks
