Neverseen2prettybestfriend Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I am already planning on putting a male plakat betta, kuhli loaches, and cherry shrimp to it. I'd like to add it will be heavily planted. It will be the first tank I've done were I actually did my research. I was looking at endlers but maybe the tank might be too small.

FrozenFins Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 endlers would be fine in a 29. I would do a schooling fish though like a cardinal or neon tetra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverseen2prettybestfriend Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 How many endlers would you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Endlers? a 29g will hold lots, but start with a few and they will make more. As a comparison, in my heavily planted 29g I have: shrimp (around 10) innumerable snails 3 otocinclus 3 khuli loaches 3 german blue rams 1 angelfish a school of about 19 rummynose tetras My nitrates are always lower than I want them, and would drop to zero without fertilizer, but I do have to service my filter more often than I would like due to the snails chowing down on the driftwood in the tank and making a lot of mulm. Aggression is held to a minimum, because there are so many plants you can barely see more than the rummies and a third of the other fish at any one time. Anyone feeling picked on is hidden in 3 fish lengths, and it is mostly just the female rams sparring when they feel broody. The angel breaks it up now and then by chasing them away from each other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Arguably, I am definitely at maximum capacity--I would not add a single thing. But it is my favorite tank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
