Abby W Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Hello! A few months ago I acquired a 29 gallon tank setup along with a couple of fish for free. Since then, I have been doing a ton of research about fish keeping and I have learned so much. I have memories from my childhood of our family keeping a few goldfish, guppies, and a pleco in what must have been a 2.5 gallon (or less) tank. Yikes! I am so glad that I found Cory's videos and did more research before I tried out guppies again. I loved watching and naming all the colorful guppies as a kid and I've wanted to get back into them as an adult, so I finally took the leap and I am expecting fry soon! I currently have a 10 gallon planted tank for my guppies and a few shrimp, as well as the 29 gallon. I have quite a few questions, so I'm excited to get some constructive feedback on this forum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimmonsSnailsNScales Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Welcome back to the fish world! Be careful with those guppies. Healthy guppies make lots of babies! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjum Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Hi Abby, welcome! Did the guppies come with the 29gal, or another fish? 29g is a great size, I love mine! Looking forward to seeing the guppy babies! Post pics of the parents if you have a chance ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashBandit05 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 In my opinion the 29gal is one of the best aquariums to have! Big enough for a nice school of smaller-nano fish and a couple larger ones like gouramis, rams, etc. Water changes aren't too bad on a 29gal either, I use my 3gal bucket for my 9gal aquarium when doing maintenance. Good luck with your new set up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, unfortunately the fish that came with the 29 gallon were an albino rainbow shark and a common pleco, which both need a bigger tank. I've been trying to rehome them, but that's been difficult. But when I do find new homes for them I'll be excited to put my guppies in there and maybe add a gourami or something. Here's one of the pregnant females in the 10 gallon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
