hey guys im stocking up a 29gal

and it already has a convict

im looking for stocking sugestions
i think these might be cool but idk

1 convict
6 tiger barbs
3 hillstream loaches
3 sumo loaches

please post
 
me personally, i would go with tiger barbs, rainbow or red tailed sharks, bristlenose pleco, chinese algae eater(gold)

things like that....
 
I tried convicts and tiger barbs together in a 55gal a few years back. As soon as the convicts laid eggs they killed the tiger barbs. You might be ok with just 1 convict though.
 
You'd prolly be fine with the tiger barbs if you only have one con. Breeding pairs get extra aggresive though, so i think if you paired your con up, you'd be stocked.
 
na just a MALE
 
I'd leave the barbs, but go with different bottom fish, maybe some small pimelodids like SA bumblebee cats
