Dwarf in a 30 what else

[joemamauggly]

I wanna do a single dwarf gourami in my 30 gallon what else could I do
Also try not to recommend anything smaller than guppies

Pair of GBRs, couple of schools of tetras or barbs, maybe some otos or a BN Pleco

You could put a school of zebra danios in there they are pretty cool and get to be about two inches. Plus they are really hardy

A large school of rummynose tetras would be nice along with a smaller school of rainbows.

Alright what I'm thinking

1 dwarf gourami
1 school of rainbows
1 school of mollie
2 rams

What else

 

[blueramboy87]

How big do you plan making the schools?

 

[joemamauggly]

6 rainbows
4-5 mollies
I also looking into a Pleco
Also 2 snails

 

[blueramboy87]

That sounds fine. You could also maybe a few bottom feeders like Cory cats

 

[blueramboy87]

Add is what I meant

 

[Rivercats]

What type of rainbows and what type of mollies. Mollies get large and have a high bio-load and sailfin mollies can get 5-6" and larger for males. Depending on the type of rainbow and adding a pleco will put an awefully heavy bio-load on a 30g tank and possibly even overstock it.

 

[Hholly]

What kind of rainbows?

 

[blueramboy87]

Oh and I am pretty sure mollies require some salt in their water

 

[joemamauggly]

What kind of rainbows would you recomend

 

[Rivercats]

In a 30g neon dwarf rainbows. Also what type 30 is it? Long, tall, ??? Or Threadfin Rainbows which you could actually keep more of due to their size. I love mine.

 

[joemamauggly]

Alright how's this

5 mollies
5-6 threadfin rainbows
2 rams
1 dwarf gourami
1 Pleco
Snails and maybe a few Cories

 

[Rivercats]

That list but only 3 mollies and either choose a pleco or the cories. Your adding even more fish with a dwarf gourami and cories.

 

[joemamauggly]

Ok only the Pleco and 3 mollies

 

[blueramboy87]

I think that sounds fine

 

[joemamauggly]

Thanks for the help all final list below

1 dwarf gourami
2 bolivian rams
3 mollies of three colors
6 threadfin rainbows
1 smaller Pleco still not sure wich one I want
And a few snails
And possibly a couple shrimp
