Jcrizzo12 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Hey all you wonderful folks! I got myself a 29 gallon tank that's been running happily for awhile and I'm about ready to get my last residents moved in but I'm having trouble figuring out what's perfect to finish it up its a heavily planted tank, Driftwood, Black and White gravel mix PH: 7.0 KH: 4PPM GH: Off the Charts, around 22ppm Current Stocking 7x Cardinal tetras 3x Dwarf Red Gourami ( 1 male, 2 females) 6x Salt and Pepper Corydoras I live in the Chicago area so our water is hard and my local stores fish are all raised and bred in this water so I'm not too worried about compatibility parameters wise but I'm just looking for ideas on what fish would just look pleasant with my current setup. I'm leaning more towards another small school of mid to top level fish that would look great with the cardinals. Thanks so much in advance!

GameCzar Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 If you want another small schooling/shoaling fish you could try Ember Tetras, they would give a nice orange pop to go with the reds and blues you have. You could also do Black Neons for a contrast. Sounds like great stocking so far, I'd be tempted to just get more cardinals! I also read Guppies are great tankmates for Cardinals, and I'm a little partial to Guppies. Good luck! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapexghost Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Of it were me, I'd get a bn pleco, and then get more cardinal tetras and more salt and pepper cories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroPete Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Sounds like a cool tank! Got any photos? My vote is more cardinals and corys. Second place is a school of black neons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentFishFanUK Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 What about pseudomugil furcatus? Some nice yellow colour to go with your reds and blues. Or as other people suggested, just increase the size of your schools of cardinals and corydoras would be great too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
