Two new tanks- need some ideas
- Thread starter dougefresh
- Start date
Check into getting some Pike Top-Minnows (Belanesox belizanus)as small predators they are great little livebearing killers and easy to keep and breed.
Those tanks are a little small for most predators, but you could keep a solitary puffer in the 29. Maybe a pignose or congo puffer.
i think i might use the 29 gal. for cons or firemouths for now and then grow them out when they get too big........then i was looking into a figure eight puffer for the long 20gal. ......dunno exactly what i will do yet but should be fun.............
you could do dwarf cichlids in both, a few of the smaller plecs for the 20Long (Zebra, Gold Nugget, etc..) As for the 29g you could go with a small semi aggressive community or you could go with lots of different tetras so you have a tank with lots of little movements and individual schools?
