I'm having trouble deciding on how to stock my 29 gallon tank.
I have four corys, six serpae tetra, and I plan on getting a pair of German Blue Rams. I want another small school of fish (5-6) that will contrast in color with the serpae but that will get along with the rest of the tank.
Is it overkill and am I overstocking with this second school?
Should I just add a few more serpae in and have a big school of 10+?
AqAdvisor is currently telling me that with the GBRs, corys, and serpae, I'm at 66% so I have some wiggle room.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
 
First off ur not over stocked at all. If u want another school then I would go for maybe neon tetras, cardnial tetra. U could also put like 2 kuhli loaches there pretty neat fish. I have bolivian rams and I love mine I'll attach a picImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1392295437.281869.jpg
 
U could also do a school of 3-4 glass catfish. They don't sit on the bottom there very active and should look nice with ur serpae
 
My 29g is currently stocked with


2- bolivian rams
2- peacock gudgeond
6-serpae tetras
7- white clouds
1-dwarf gourami
6-panda cories
3-amanao shrimp
 
I would add 2 more Cory's and 2 more serapes. Then you could add another school of fish like 6 lemon tetras or 6 penguin tetra.
 
Glass catfish need a bigger tank then a 29. I also agree that you aren't overstocked. I highly recommend rummynose tetras. They are pretty fragile and somewhat susceptible to disease at first, but after 3 weeks they are incredibly hardy, and very active!
