Semi agressive 29 gallon?

[Goldfish loach boy]

Hello, I want a semi aggressive tank, I currently have 1 peppered Cory cat, 4 kuhli loaches, one balloon Molly, and 4 red eye tetras
I really want to start adding fish as soon as I can
Here is an idea
1 red tailed shark
1 other bottom feeder
1 gold gourami
1 other top level swimmer
1 schooling fish
And one or two more mid level swimmers
1 bn pleco
1 clown pleco
Any ideas? Thanks

No red tailed shark because they get at least 6 inches and are incredibly aggressive. Gold also get to big imo. I would add a few more Cory's and 2 more red eyes. I would also choose a bn or clown. Ok bad news over lol

Have you seen red serape tetras, there nippy and semi aggressive. Also 1 DG could work

I'd remove the Molly since it would get beaten up. I'd add a rubber lip pleco

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Oh man really! No RTS I really wanted one!

So are you saying I can add the two plecos PLUS the rubber lip?

 

[bettaowner]

I'd add only one pleco unless you have multiple hiding spots

 

[cgthebeast]

Yeah believe it or not, plecs can also get aggressive on territory

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Yea I have two hiding spots

Is an opaline gourami or a kissing gourami too aggressive to be with my fish?

Oh really?!
Wow I do have two hiding spots, a cave and a root piece ornament, is that enough?

They both get to big for that tank IMO, especially the kissing G

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Hmmm ok

I'm going with a dwarf gourami, do you think it will be a bad idea to add a honey gourami?

 

[bettaowner]

Opaline Gouramis are the same species as gold Gouramis and kissing Gouramis would need a bigger tank. When you say honey gourami are you referring to colisa chuna.

Is your tank planted or fake plants. You would need lots of hiding places an a decoration to brake up line of sight

Yea the tank is heavily planted with three amazon swords and a lot of anacharis

Give it a go then. Add them at the same time though

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

I will thanks

Oh one more thing, this might be a ridiculous question, but can I add a synodontis lace catfish or a Raphael catfish?

Are the lace an an African feather fin the same cat? I have an African an he's 6 in and still growing

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Oh no it's not a feather fin

What about the Raphael?

 

[cgthebeast]

Oh no it's not a feather fin

What about the Raphael?

Ok, I was thinking it was for some reason. I think you could get away with a Raphael. Just get a small one so it grows up with larger fish

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Oh awesome

Thanks! I'll just give my peppered Cory a partner
What does the Raphael eat, does it take these pellets?
