So I just got my first tank today, a 29G. Im gonna get it going soon but i was wondering what i could stock it with. A was thinking African cichlid's but im still not sure. Any thoughts?
What to put in my 29 gallon
- Thread starter Mr.snipesquid
- Start date
my opinion..stay away from cichilds, they want more than 29g. I've always kept tiger barb. Those are fun, nasty little fin nippers.
My 29g has: 6 zebra danios, 5 brilliant rasboras, 5 julii cories, 3 albino cories, female betta, Bolivian ram (female?), and a few odd snails. I enjoy it a lot -- peaceful, but pretty active and very simple to care for...
How about a starter saltwater tank? This is if you have not tried salt water and have a desire to try it. 29 gallons is suppose to be an ideal size to start with.
Can go with a solo Salvini cichlid add some dithers and a small catfish.
Low tech planted tank and add like 20-25 african dwarf frogs!
1 Leopard Ctenopoma, and some small catfish species. Maybe a synodontis catfish or smaller SA catfish.

Well this is my first non goldfish tank so idk about saltwater. can cichlid's be kept solo?
Sure there is several smaller/medium cichlids that can be solo. Firemouths are another good choice, rainbow cichlids, Blue Acara etc. You might be able to even fit a pair inside a 29 gal.
