I thought I posted here, did anyone mention glo fish? They're danios anyway except colorful.
Or perhap some ghost shrimp, they're lots of fun and go crazy when you feed them blood worms.

I just read in the molly profile here in fishlore that mollies prefer to be in a tank with their own species. So you can get two platys. But, like mollies and guppies, they are prolific breeders. Platys come in different colors like red, yellow, orange, and there is one species with mickey mouse on its tail!! Male platys are smaller and have a anal fin.

Glofish would be cool too.

Hi everyone!

It's great to hear from everyone, and still happily accepting more replies!
Butters: Good idea, I didn't think a dwarf gourami would be a good idea either at the moment. Even though I did say that dwarf gouramis are just great! The disease is really "eating" them away. Like the smiley: lol. More neons would be nice, but I'm kind of looking for possibly another species of fish. Oh and by the way, at my LFS they always have harlequins. Any suggestions if I should get those? I was thinking since their a schooling fish, I would have to get quite a few, and that would over-populate the tank. sick fishies isn't good:
Lucy: I had another thread that said I was debating ghost shrimp, and I was. Hmmm. I could take it into consideration. Ahhh, the Glo fish. The brilliance of the modern fish-world. I'm actually not sure if they have them at my LFS. Hmmm. <--- trying to remember... I guess I'll have to drop by at the LFS in a couple of days and tell you. (I'd love to get some.)
NeonTetra: Platys look interesting and beautiful. <--- that could be a small exaggaration of my reaction to the pictures of platys, even though I've seen them before. But I need to know more about them. Would a couple of females be okay? Would that over-stock my tank? Could the females already have become pregnant from the tank at the LFS? Anyone can reply, I'll be glad to hear your answers!
<---Team Ali cheering on your great replies!

glad that you wont buy a DG now, I would really like to get one for my 20 gallon also, but I just dont wanna risk it having the virus. As for the platys, I would go for males becuase females can store baby juice in them and then they can just pop out babys when they feel like it. As for the harlequins, I'd go with 5-6 becuase you already have neons in there, and you probably shouldnt have more than 2 schools of small fish in there, might get crowded. hope all goes well!

Danios will nip long fins unless they are in a school. I'd get 3 - 4 more, and nothing else. They cannot thrive in 1's!

Hey!

Thanks for the awesome replies! I have a question for you guys now. Do you think it would be good to get one more zebra danio and two leopard danios? Leopard danios will school with zebra danios, right? If I got those three fish, would it be over-stocking my tank? Please answer!

Hey Biscato, I'm not really sure about the schooling of leoperds and zebras but you can get about 3-4 more danios, then I think your tank will be good to go! But if the danios are anything like my cories, they will eventually adopt each other. But I would wait until someone else helps you on this one. good luck!

Blub

Well, as Butters said 3 - 4 more danios wouldn't overstock you, and yes, leopards and zebras will school.

Gilbert

I would get 3-4 more danios and/or some platys, they're both active types of fish that in my experience, like each other's company. just make sure they're all males or females, they both breed very easily. Leopard and zebra danios would make for some nice colorful variety.

Hi!

Thanks everyone for replying so quickly! If I got 4 more danios would I have to do more matinence than usual? I do matinence once every other week, sometimes more if something happens in the aqaurium. I might get 2 zebras and 2 leopards if that would be okay, and depending on matinence issues. Anyways, I probably wouldn't mind doing it once a week, but I just want to know.

You should be doing a weekly water chage, even with 1 fish in the tank. If you are dreadfully overstocked, then you might have to do twice weeklys. (That's what my nano's get!) So, get the extra danios, and weekly water changes.

Butters

ya, I agree with hatchet on this one. I do weekly water changes on my tank. except my betta tank, he gets it like once or twice a month.

Biscato33

Hey,

Okay, thanks. Now I feel sort of guilty about not doing weekly water changes.
<--me. So, once a week, even if I got 4 more danios? Or would there be twice a week water changes? More? Please answer!

If you got more danios, it would still be once a week, but if you want you can do twice a week coz' it's better for your fishies!

hi my name is jordan i live in perth, iwas wondering if your 29g tank lokks good because i have 29g tank wit no fish in yet so need to decide what to put in.
thanks

livetowin

Yes my tank looks good ill try to get some picks up

Blub

Post a new thread on this board about it. We have several 29gal tanks at school (I basically run them) and they look great! It really depends on what fish you put in it.

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in soooo long. I was away on holiday with my family, we went to Myrtle Beach! It was FUN! So I think it's decided, I'm getting 2 more zebras and 2 leopards ( I didn't want to get more leopards than zebras, cuz the leopards might eat all the zebras! LOL!) I'll get them this week, and post pics! I'm not too sure how to, so maybe Hatchet or someone else can give me some help!

Thanks!!!!

I'm so excited to get my new fishies!!!

~Ali (who is VERY excited)
