29 Gallon Tank Neons, harlequins, &-?

[Skrabbitskrabbit]

What would you put (if anything) with the following; I have-
12 neons
8 harlequin rasboras
Also 3x amano shrimp and a mystery snail

I’m thinking of going with a centerpiece if I have room. Filtration is a aqua clear 50 plus a sponge filter running on an air pump. I tried my betta in there but the current is a bit much and the other fish are too feisty at dinner time

Maybe some cories or a bn pleco?

Maybe a BN pleco and a couple of honey gouramis. They don’t get that big but they are bright.

What size tank? You already have the top and middle covered so it sounds like you need bottom dwellers- cories would work.

Some kind of ram or apisto would work depending on parameters

A group of cory hasbrosus! They’re so cute and busy…and very zippy!

Thanks for the suggestions! I know everyone loves cories but I’ve never had them! Maybe if I do a rescape of my tank and dumped more sand on my substrate I could get in on the Cory love.

It’s a 29 gallon. I never really wanted cories before but I may have to try them out...

Okay! I love the look of both these fish. I think I’ve ruled out rams though because I have heard they can be slow or shy eaters and they like higher temps (78 is about as high as I wanna go with current stock). I will do more research on apistogramma and see if that may work.

Honey gourami have been on my mind so I’ll look into their care and then go from there! Thanks

I also have cories and very much adore them. They are easy to care for and help keep the bottom clean. So many different kinds too and if you get enough of them they are so fun to watch. I have sand over 1/3 the bottom of my tank and it’s fun to watch them stick their heads in there scavenging.

There are other types of catfish. You could and see if your parameters and tankmates would work with a pictus catfish- but only 1 in that size tank. There are multiple types of plecos- clown, bristlenose, rubberlip.

I honestly can't remember. I was randomly trying to think of some bottom dwellers off the top of my head that weren't a cory cat...lol.
