Got a 29g about completed cycling and would like to get some stocking ideas from some of you guys.. Got a couple ideas already but maybe a couple more wouldnt hurt
I love the ideas already expressed. Here is my stock in my 29 gallon which works well:
3 x Dojo Loach
1 x Rainbow Shark
5 x Dwarf Gourami
5 x Glo-Tetra (hybrid black skirts)
2 x Kribensis Cichlid
I cannot say enough good things about how well they interact and swim all over the tank. Well, except for the Glo-Tetra (hybrid black skirts) at times. It was Interesting when I added three more powder blue dwarf gourami recently, it made the two that were already in the tank much more "social."
I am thinking of adding a small angelfish. I'd really love to get some endlers, but in addition to overstocking the tank, according to aqadvisor.com, they don't work with rainbow sharks or angels

Any other suggestions?
********I would be terrified of having 5 dgs in a single small tank. Personally, I wouldn't go over two in that tank.
Aquadvisor is just a website it is not a real human being with years of experience like people on this forum. Why would you trust a machine over real people?
When fish are juveniles many species said to be incompatible may get along, but as they age problems could arise.
That tank in the video may be crystal clear now, but those goldfish are going to get HUGE and they will have some water quality issues. Also that lone angelicus botia loach may nip at the smaller fish when it gets larger.
That said, there are always exceptions because every fish, tank, and fish keeper are unique. We can only make recommendations based on the way we know certain species normally behave in most situations.

Also, even though we as fish keepers are unable to concretely study this outside of a laboratory, I suspect that schooling or shoaling fish that are kept alone or in groups too small develop some neurological problems.
