sweetpoison Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 So I’m going to use this space for my new tank. I know I have two other threads and I can’t always find them so if this is in the wrong spot please feel free to move it. Where I’m at now ~ my tank is set up with my stand with plywood that everybody helped me figure out and I’m going to be buying plastic soon. And then I will be filling it up🤭 It’s 29 gallon long and I’m going to be using white sand and I would like to get Pea Puffers and Rummynose and that’s it for a while. I found some rocks I think I had in my other tanks but I just wanna make sure these items are okay. So please tell me what you think. I can’t remember how we would test something before we put it into our tanks…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetpoison Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 OK guys here are some of the fish that I’m looking at getting and let me know what you all think ~ Pea puffers clown loaches Rummynose I think that’s it for a long while ~ I only have a 20 gallon I just wanna know how many and if they’re compatible. Do I get them separately are all at once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Skip the pea puffer. They are notoriously difficult fish to keep. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lefty o Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 over time a clown loach will get too big for a 20. if you desire a loach, id pick one that doesnt get so large. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannah Parker Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) I agree with @xXInkedPhoenixX on skipping the peas puffers... I tried them and don't think I will again, they can be sensitive, prone to worms, picky with food and sometimes hard to hash out a good hierarchy within themselves. They also can terrorize any tankmates and even kill them, many people recommend them in a species-only tank. Clown loaches can also get 5-8 inches and do best in schools so I wouldn't recommend them for a tank this small. If you're open to special ordering through your local fish store or online ordering, the nano Rosy loach might be more your style. They get 1.5 inches and you could easily have a school of 6-12. You could also do panda corydoras, pygmy corydoras or hasbrosas pygmy corydoras. For centerpiece fish you could do Honey gouramis, any variation of German Blue rams, or try your luck and see if you get a nice betta. I would order online from a reputable source if you get a betta, they're very sickly these days in places like Petco/Petsmart. You can definitely do rummynose tetras in you 20 gallon 🙂 Edited April 21, 2022 by hannah662parker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrencher_Scott Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Hold off on the Rummynose too until the tank is "seasoned" a bit. They are touchy blackwater fish that need very clean water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpoison Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 No I’m not gonna put anything in this tank it is completely cycled but you think I should do my Rummynose last?

Rummy nose are tricky. I’ve lost all of mine, some soon after introduction and some many months later. I have soft, slightly acidic water that should technically be ideal, but I still have trouble.

sweetpoison Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 Oh I’m so sorry! I’ve had them many times ~ the redder their nose the better the water quality is. And I know when you buy a whole bunch of any schooling fish we are bound to lose one or two 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great information here thank you so much! I used to have Rams I love them I’ll show you some pictures! Rummynose need very clean water, so you need very good bio filtration is all. Not just cycled but well seasoned with lots of good bacteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpoison Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 And the toys are rolling in♥️ I also have plants and rocks in my mailbox parcel and some stuff at my neighbors! I was worried that my Python imitation hose wasn’t going to reach from the living room to the kitchen but it does ~ measured that great. And I was excited that it came with like three different valves for the faucet. I remember having to go and get the valve for my python years ago. But none of these fit😞I’ve been working on them forever! And I even tried the bathrooms in the house and they still won’t fit that faucet😡 any rate my hands are raw I can’t do anymore I have to call the company and they’ll send me the correct adapter ~ I don’t know how they’re gonna do that but that’s what it says. I have lots of gravel and rocks and plants somewhere at some neighbors😂😂 Making progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuppicake Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I bought these to connect my python to my sink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
