29 gallon ideas

[livefishguy124]

i recently got another tank, it is a 29 gallon tank. i was planing on using it for breeding but i keep getting smaller tanks when i need them for babies all my other tanks are 20-2.5 gallons, i have 1 29 gallon that is my main community tank, so i would like to set up a 29 gallon tank and i don't want to set it up as a community tank.

any ideas?

You could do something like a Betta Sorority. Not my thing but they are certainly colorful and entertaining.

A set up for a group of bolivian rams, maybe 3-4 of them.

Definately do puffers!

Puffers are really cool and should be considered. Watch their teeth tho.

Are you talking about the BB puffer because they should be kept alone since they are pretty aggressive and they actually have beaks I believe, not teeth.

I think you should go with a ram pair with neon tetras being your schooling fish. About 12-15

Nope it's teeth. All puffers except the dwarf puffer need to have their teeth clipped every now and then.

If you were to do that it would need to only be 1 male or else fighting over territory may occur.

I would do some research with the local wildlife association. In TN Snakeheads are considered invasive and the local government will pay you to kill them.

All snakehead species are banned in the USA. All states, all species.

i'm in california

 

[PassengerTN]

Last I checked, California was still part of the united States, where snakeheads are illegal. Channa = snakehead

thats realy lame i know they are invasive but it should be illegal to relese them or something like that not to keep them, any other ideas

You could do a single angelfish as a centerpiece and then a carefully selected peaceful community. Our angelfish does quite nicely with platies, kuhli loaches and corydoras in a 29.

Set up a river tank. Use PVC and powerheads to put powerheads on one side of tank with the intake on the other side so you have unidirectional flow. Then you can do hillstream and brookstream loaches.
