30 Gal Ideas Lots o' fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
A lot of fish for a 30g would mean alot of small fish. Pretty much along the lines of tetras, barbs, cory cats, gouramis but eventually all of them will grow to 2 or 3 inches which would make it look cramped.

I like the personality of cichlids myself. Dwarf cichlids like cockatoo's and rams would look nice in a planted tank with driftwood.

Go with something completely different from what you already have.
 
I have a heavily planted 30 gallon with 6 otto cats, 3 syn. lace cats, 1 pearl gurami, 2 red tailed sharks (I only recommend 1), 4 corydoras, 1 small pleco, 2 rapheal cats, 8 adult platies of various strains, 2 adult pineapple swords, 4 adult guppies, 100+ fry from the livebearers, 30 glass shrimp, 1 cobalt blue lobster and 2 unidentified fry that my kids brought home from the black river in WI. I know better but I wasn't about to drive them back to let them go:screwy: I have an undergravel filter powered by two mid-level powerheads in conjunction with a magnum 350 pro cannister system and DIY co2 injection. The lighting is about 4 1/2 watts per gallon compact flourecent. The substrate is seachem flourite and regular small grain gravel that you would find in large water system filters. I don't recommend this setup for a begginer with a little extra effort it is very rewarding it is one of the most immpressive tanks I have ever seen. If you have this many fish you have to have the plants to go with them or you will have problems.

Just an idea.
