Aquarium Stocking Questions Use this board for aquarium stocking questions. Do NOT follow the 1 inch per 1 gallon of aquarium water recommendation that you will often hear at the local fish store. Stock your freshwater aquarium lightly and sensibly and if you need help with stocking your tank post your questions on this aquarium stocking board.

29g: Stock Me!

After I move my community fish to the 55g, I'm going to have an empty 29g. I'd like to make this one a species only tank. Some of the options I've thought of are:

2 Figure 8's
3 Red eyed puffers
6-8 Dwarf puffers
2 goldfish

Any more ideas? I don't think I want cichlids. Anyone else have any ideas for a species only tank?

I would like to dedicate a 20-30 gallon for African Dwarf Frogs ... I have a soft spot for them... maybe that is an option for you ... it would have to be a tight lid though ...

Figure 8s would need brackish water ... I have one in a 22 gallon and that is pushing the limit ... you could put lots of bumblebee gobies (brackish) in that tank....

I like the red eye puffer idea ... but I think 2 would be your limit in 29 gallons ... mine is a character!

That's my 2 cents ...

You could try massive school of fish - either some Rasboras (Espe's are really neat, if you can find them), a lot of Male Endeler's Livebearers, a massive Tetra school (Serpae's or Black phantoms would rule!) or something else in a jungle of hygrophila, vallisnera and cryptocorynes!
