29 gallon fially bigger

yaya i just got a 29 gallon tank can yall tell me what to lkeep int here

 

There are alot of possible fish choices for a 29 gallon. Is there a certain fish that you want? then you could build a stocking plan around that particular fish.

 

not the fish like doecoration adn stuff can u show me some pics of how it should look

 

heres a picture of our 29 gallon. It has a blood parrot and 2 clown loaches in it.

 

i was thinking of a jack dempsey is that a good fish

 

I believe a 29 gal is too small for a JD those things can get to around 8-10" if I remember correctly. Yeah I checked and they get around 8-10" and would need at least 40 gallons a piece.

 

Yup, 29 is definitely too small for a JD. A convict would be good in there, maybe with a small species of pleco or a raphael cat as a tankmate.

if you didn't mind all the fry could you put a pair of convicts in there?

 

since i dont want to open a new threat i have another question
my friend jsut got a new jack dempsey cichlid and its about 5 inches he is keepin it in a 55 gallon with a 2 mollies 2 swordtails and 4 tetras they r doing good but he doesnt now what to feed he has tried flakes blodd worms but it wont eat

 

How long has he had it? Cichlids are prone to pouting when introduced to a new environment. I'd keep trying to offer food and keep an eye on the water parameters. If he doesn't have a small jar or cave for the JD to hide in, he might want to add one to make it feel a bit more secure.

Probably just pounting, but have him check the water params just to be safe.

so when u say i need a inch of fish for eahc gallon so a oscar gets about 12 inches and there is 29 inches in a 29 gallon so ican keep a oscar in there

 

The 1" rule does NOT apply to larger fish. Only small, slender bodied fish like tetras, danios, & small barbs. Basically fish that stay under 3". So no, definitely don't put an oscar in there.

oh ok and how many sailfin mollies can live in there

 

In a 29, you can fit about 7 - 9 mollies (if you have no other fish in there).

why not try a chichlid

why not try a brichardi chiclid

you could have a school of neon's 7-10 and then some other fish as your center fish
