Stocking a 29 gallon (black moors)

[seds]

Heh, I went to the LFS and I saw some strange things: I found out the cute minnows I caught in a stream that I thought were lake chub are actually rosy reds;

fathead minnows. There were a few in the feeder tank that had their wild colors.


I asked for 7 but they put 10 in the bag ... No big deal, but I am not going to "cull" the excess ones by putting them in with my tinfoil barbs. I also got a big clump of java moss. The pipsqueaks are about a centimeter. I'll keep up with my water changes to remedy the situation. The java moss might help with nitrates but it might make too many fry survive. I heard white clouds breed like rabbits or guppies.

It might not do well in an unheated tank though.

To be clear I bought white clouds. I was really considering the fatheads though.


I kind of wish I picked them up but I am happy with these little white clouds. They don't shoal as tight as I expected.

give them time, when i had a school in my 20L they were always doing something different, sometimes they were in a tight school dead center in the tank, sometimes they were spread out and hiding in the plants.
