29 gallon tank!

[Zasman21]

Starting a thread on my 29 gallon tank! Started today so currently cycling! Just wondering what do you guys think I should stock with? And why?

 

[G1203]

Clowns, dwarf angel, goby shrimp pair?

 

[Zasman21]

I think a goby and shrimp pair would be really cool! But I've never had one

 

[G1203]

They're very cool and good for keeping your sand turned over.

 

[Zasman21]

Any specific kinds?

 

[G1203]

I had an orange stripe prawn goby and I was going to get him a pistol shrimp the next day but he jumped out of the tank because I have t5s and no lid.... But a beautiful fish just make sure you have a lid.

I recommend people go different or "harder" to get. That's just my opinion.

 

[Zasman21]

Yeah that's a pretty cool looking fish-

 

[Breakthecycle2]

if you want a prawn goby and shrimp either get a dracula goby or one of these: Drs. Foster and Smith Diver's Den® - Amblyeleotris latifasciata

I have both and the one i linked, is very very pretty and depending on their mood changes colors and can get much darker with blue and bright red speckles all over.

 

[Zasman21]

That sounds awesome any pictures?

 

[Breakthecycle2]

My tank is cycling really fast compared to my other tanks.. Is this normal?

 

[jeffaquarius]

How fast? Probably you did everything right this time.

 

[Zasman21]

It's been 3 days and my ammonia is at 0 nitrite is at 2.0 and nitrate at 60

 

[jeffaquarius]

Did you put raw shrimp? All live rocks and substate?

 

[Zasman21]

All live rock and live sand but no shrimp but when i checked parameters yesterday the ammonia was .50

 

[jeffaquarius]

If you have all LR and substrate you already have enough bacteria for filtration but to be safe I would wait few more days. There might be some spikes in between.

 

[Zasman21]

Sounds good I just wanted to know if it was normal haha

 

[Zasman21]

Added some mushrooms over from my old tank!

 

[Zasman21]

Just moved everything over to the 29 gallon tank and everything starting to acclimate
