My 29 gallon planted tank (my first aquarium)

[thequestion]

Latest addition. Any suggestions on a tankmate? I understand to not add another male.

I love Gourami. I use to have 3 Opaline Gourami in a 29g. Beautiful and very relaxing fish to watch.

I've mixed an angelfish with a gourami in the past with no issues

The neon Tetras tend to nip at them don't they?

Now I have [emoji222] s. Must have come in on one of the plants I added. I'm not going to exterminate at the moment but I plan on pulling back on food just a tinge so they don't go bananas. Any idea what breed this is? (It may be too small to tell.)

I think it's just a pond snail. I could be wrong though. I use to have a ton of them in my 10g, and the plants still grew like crazy.

I've never experienced a neon tetra fin nipping....not to say it couldn't happen.

I'd pull the snails out as you find them. Pond snails can spread pretty fast and become a problem. Or get some assassin snails and they'll take care of it for you.

That is what I will do if it comes to it

I personally find that endlers can work well with fish like betta and gouramis

It was done for esthetic reasons and it's not really a factor to weaken the tank in sizes such as mine.

I thought about pulling the rim from my 29. I had some plexi though (1/4) and solvent and was going to make a clear one to fit up there. Then I got lazy. they do look nice but they serve a purpose.
On a side note I have that plexi and solvent and pulled the rims off a 20 long I broke drilling. I was thinking of making a cool custom tank with all of that.
