I think the guppies are a good idea, all those other fish you mentioned will get too large for the 29
can exodon really go in a 29 gallon?
- Thread starter white specter crayfish
- Start date
Ok, I was thinking a green spotted puffer but I will be in college in <5 years and these fish live longer than that and I don't want my parents to care for it because they have no real experience with them
Good thinking, for fish keepers who are going to college it's best to keep their tanks small, lightly stocked, and manageable.
well my current 29 is considered "heavily overstocked" but it's been doing fine for months, it's 10-14 kuhli loaches (hard to count, I bought 14 but Idk if any died and were eaten), 3 dojo loaches, a green phantom and gold nugget pleco, an albino red tail shark, 3 red eye tetras, 1 betta, and 2 albino cherry barbs, I'd love to get 3 more red eye tetras and 6 rummynose tetras but that would be pushing it IMO
Yeah, I just have to make sure the water is clean, the plecos are really shy and reclusive but people complain about how they’ll get too big and that my tetras and loaches need to be in schools but honestly I’m doing fine, I just do a 5-15 gallon water change once every 2 weeks or so, none of my fish are aggressive enough to cause problems, my shark is probably the most aggressive one and during feeding and he sometimes chases away other fish that get near his cave area, aside from that he’s fine
I’m out of my test it but the nitrates were usally around 100 ppm or so which I have heard is fine for freshwater fish
my filtration is good enough and my water changes frequent enough that I have yet to see any problemsI may barely know what I'm doing sometimes but that doesn't look right.tlindsey your thoughts on it?
