What should I put in a 30g tall?

We just got a 30g tall tank - what should we put in it when it's cycled? We won't be adding the fish until after we do the move to Denver so we've got some time to think about it. We decided not to use it for a growout tank for the mahachai betta fry (they'll get a long tank that we'll pick up in denver).

you can see the tank in our tanks/fish thread.

Saltwater in a tall tank is hard. My father-in-law has one and he is always messing with it. You have to do less fish because of the surface area. Still, his reef looks nice!!!

Those fancy type guppies sound really cool, some purples some blues and other great colors would look amazing

Re: What should I put in a 30g tall?

we were thinking of discus, but to have a happy small school of them even would take more than 30g unfortunately. Stacy's leaning towards the fancy gups and i'm undecided still.

Re: What should I put in a 30g tall?

those are cool fish, but not easy to find in most shops here unfortunately. you must get quite the selection of fish in Oz.

Re: What should I put in a 30g tall?

For those who voted angels - what kind of angels do you like most? and for the saltwater votes - can we borrow some money? would you go with anemone or coral?

Re: What should I put in a 30g tall?


Hi Dave & Stacy...
I voted Angels!! The reason being is that since you are used to the personalities of the bettas, where they really do interact with us, I thought that you would be very happy with the angels for the same reason. The two angels that I have are so personable...they really watch you.. interact with you and they are smart! Not to mention they sure are pretty.. have such graceful motion... great colors and patterns.. Ive seen a calico that was mostly white with bright yellow head and shoulder area.. gorgeous! Did I mention they are smart?? lol... yeh they are smart all right.. they know when to start looking for you at meal time, its usually when you have this feeling that all eyes are on you. And they are! You wouldn't be dissappointed and they grow to such a nice size. May as well make good use of that 30 tall!! ( forget the guppies.. lol)

Re: What should I put in a 30g tall?

are you able to keep any other fish with your angels? i know they have a tendancy to get tough on other fish when they buddy up or are mating.

Wellllll...... unfortunatly I found that the platys fell prey to the angelfish. Ive had the angels with the serpae tetras and they didnt bother them, but I wouldnt put them with long fin black skirt tetras tho. I think if there are larger fish they may be ok, but then again it depends on what they are. The angels are with the discus right now and are fine with them. I really dont know too many fish that can go with them, but getting a number of angels in one tank sure make a pretty sight all by themselves!

Just saw this question...

I have 2 angels with 4 barbs, 5 tetras, and a pleco, and the angels are fine. The angels are total sweethearts, they pretty much keep to themselves. They have a lot of personality and are the ones most likely to watch and follow me.

Re: What should I put in a 30g tall?

the tank cycled after 3 weeks (figures - we weren't in a hurry with this one & it cycles in 1/2 the time of a 5g we were in a hurry for. ) so now it's populated by algae.

Re: What should I put in a 30g tall?


Ohhh boy! lol... well thats good time, my tank cycled in 24 days. Now its time for you to make the decision on which fish species your going to put in that tank. BTW the polls say that you should go with angelfish!

well, with the move so close, we'll have to wait until after the move for stocking the tank.. so still over a month until fish go in.

Re: What should I put in a 30g tall?


and yet you cycled that tank now? Are you going to use it for any of the other fish in the meantime? Won't you 'loose' the cycle after packing it up for the move?

Re: What should I put in a 30g tall?

well, i thought it would take 2x as long to cycle and we'd move a little sooner. the good bacteria will be in sealed containers with water that will get fed fish flakes on the trip to keep the cycle going. then in denver, the flakes will get cleaned off & the tanks setup and the 30g tall will hopefully be ready to go then.
