Tank Stocking questions

[AllAboutTheBay]

I will soon be getting a 29g tank and will be setting it up as a planted, community tank. These are the fish I was planning on adding in. This is my first community tank and I'm still learning about compatibly and such so I just wanted to get some other thoughts on this stocking:

- 8 Julii Corys

- 2 Bolivian Rams (1m 1f or 2m or 2f?)

- 1 Dwarf Gourami

- 12 Cardinal Tetras

Temp will be set at 78F.

Thank for your input.

Please please use Aqadvisor it will help with you stock.

What kind of plants are you getting? What kind of light, CO2 or not, and ferts?

How are you going to cycle your tank before putting the fish in?

In my opinion your stock look great!

Aqadvisor isn't accurate, this mix should be fine on bioload though.

I like the look of that stocking plan, though I might be worried it's a bit overstocked -- how big do Julii's get? Also, what kind of filtration do you have on the tank?

 

[AllAboutTheBay]

It will just be low tech, low light plants. As for the filtration i was planning on getting an Aquaclear 50.

An AC 50 is ideal for that size tank.

First off, they won't be Corydoras julii.
Stores rarely ever sell true C julii.
They will be C trilineatus aka 3 Lined Cories. Very nice, hardier than C julii.

Everybody mislabels them [emoji51]

Rams may get territorial with Cories, lots of plants and some wood and caves can help them get along AFAIK

They could be julii, my local store has them, just have to look at the spot pattern on the head.

C julii have no reticulation at all and have a very rounded short snout.

Both are super cute.
