fish suggestion for 29gallon

[arcab4]

here's my  next question.

what kind of fish would u suggest for a 29gallon.

currently there are 3 ottocats, 7 amanoshrimps , 1 golden algae eater and soon to be 4 flagfish (although i might only keep two of them).

i was thinking of a huge school of neons.

I think that anykind of tetra would be beautiful. I don't really know anything about the flagfish tough. How big do they get? What is their temperment? If neons exist they can't be to mean.

If the flagfish are nice go with the neons. Then get a nice red Betta to go in there. ;D

With all the others and a cloud of neons, I would reccomend either
a) Blue Paradise or dwarf Gouramis - I've got neons, dwarf, *and Paradise fish in my current 20H, and they get along fabulously. *They are a very pretty fish when healthy. *They say the males will fight like Bettas, but I've got 2 in there and they get along great. *They're also playful and intellegent.;D
b) Cory cats - You can't go wrong with Corys. I've got 4 in mine.
c) Rainbowfish 8)- Either the Bosmani or the neon type. *You could almost mistake them for saltwater fish they are so colorful. I don't have any (yet), but when tank space allows........

Johnny,

Gold Algae eaters are actually Chinese algae eatters. They are here anyway. He would be the first to go. If it is a CAE, you dont want him in there when he starts getting bigger.They tend to lose the appetite for Algae and look towards your fish instead.


Actually you could go with Cardinals, or Glow-lites, or Black neons, or some Rummy noses tetras, or some ......neon tetras. Any would look nice...in a school.

Scrimman. How many Paradise fish do you have together? If you have 2 males, they will...when they get older..most likely fight. I couldn't keep my Paradise fish with a betta either. Paradise fish are tough fish. SUrprised they tolerates your Gourmis. Are you sure you have Male Paradise fish?

unfortunately, i found out that it was a chinese eater AFTER i bought it. doh! so far it's behaving but i don't have any fish in there really.

i think i'll put in the flagfish first to see how they deal with my algae. i read that some can be agressive so i'll keep on eye on that. 4 flagfish is too many i think so i might get rid of two. maybe i'll sell them or something. i know they're sorta out of stock in my area. so if anyone wants some, let me know.

What about some barbs like tigers or something.

[scrimman]

Actually, I have 2 males and 1 female. At least I think it's a female; it's got a shorter, less ornate tail and it likes to "dance" with one of the males.
It's also kinda planted heavily, but they've gotten along from day 1.
I'm hoping that they don't start in on each other, because I don't have anywhere else to put them.
Now, before you get ticked at me....
When I bought them, the LFS said there'd be no problems between them (I knew they were related to bettas) or other fish. : It was later on when I found some of the fish web sites I discovered that error. I don't think the LFS was being malicous; I think he honestly didn't know.
We'll see what happens.......

Put a nice trio of fancy guppies in that extra 10 gallon.  They are like Grimlins....when they get wet, they multiply!!!!!
