I can't help with the frogs as we don't have them here, but Rainbowfish get too big and too active for a 29g tank. Swordtails would work, however these do get pretty big so they would take up a lot...

How ridiculous. I live in Canterbury, New Zealand where we get frequent and sometimes very violent earthquakes and we don't have to put anything under our tanks, even though they have a considerably...

IME, I've found neons a lot tougher than many people give them credit for. I had a school in my first tank for about a year and they were fantastic and very resilient against disease, even when I was...

Just because I don't see that someone else has mentioned it, I would probably go for only 30 Cardinals as they get nearly twice as big as neons and have a higher bioload. :22:

Congrats on the new...

Didn't you just say your neons never lived longer than a year?

Imagine moving it, you'd need 6 people to lift the thing. I have images of it's own weight breaking its when you lift it.

Just to clarify, a cycle and a water change are two completely different things. Did you read that sticky that was provided?

You're not joking on packing them in tight -- 2 angelfish and 3 yoyo loaches in a 29? I can't imagine those angels would have any fins left at the end of it.

Thanks for your help Dutchie -- I've...

I've wanted a Lake Tang shellie tank since I first saw one on here. Unfortunately, up until now I didn't think I had any shellies available in my area -- but I discovered a store in my area selling...

My intention was not to start an argument. And I am not, infact, disagreeing with you. I shared an experience and you shared another, and then proceeded to try and tell my that my experience was...

Cardinals have a higher bio-load than Neons so numbers would have to be reduced. Also, if Australia is anything like New Zealand in fish prices, cardinals are fricken expensive. Like $9 each,...

I love those little Dwarves, Steeler! Sure wish we could get them in NZ. :(

I'm not saying they're all aggressive and nippy, but in my experience they can be and I would always think carefully...

Jaysee, my Dwarf Chains can be aggressive when they feel like it, although they're not most of the time. I occasionally have fins disappearing from my Harlequins, and I've had disasters in the past...

If it has Barb in the name, it's generally either semi-aggressive (eg. Tiger barb) or suited to much larger tanks (eg. Tinfoil barb).

What about Marble hatchets? Cories? Livebearers? Dwarf...

The same as most other loaches, not aggressive per say, just very boisterous and sometimes quite nippy. I wouldn't wanna keep them with anything long finned, that's for sure. There was I time when I...

I think Loaches would be a little tough on the otos IME. And for a peaceful tank, like it sounds you're going for, I'd go cories.

I personally vote Pandas. I have owned Peppereds, Sterbais and...

Probably not! It's all to do with the whole clean-green NZ thing. Every live animal or plant which comes into NZ has to be quarantined for 6 weeks, with 4 "check-ups" by DOC during that time. If...

I hope you hang around, Buddy. :11: It's nice to see someone showing some real gratitude. The people here work hard to help people who need it!

I hate you.

@Lady Hobbs -- from my experience most botiine loaches are at least semi-aggressive. Even my Dwarf Chains which are supposedly the most peaceful of the botiines are pretty aggressive when they feel...

If it's only a 10g, what about Otos?

Cardinal Tetras, Harlequin Rasbora, Dwarf Neon Rainbows, Rosy Tetras... The list is endless, and also depends on what is available in your area.

Thanks guys! Can't wait to get more. thumbs2:

We can't even get Zebras in NZ, but stuff like Gold Nuggets, Snowball Plecs, King Tiger Plecs, etc all retail for around $199. The most expensive I've seen is a magnus plec for $320. Count yourself...

Haha, Steeler I still love them! It's been a tough decision. If I had a third tank I'd set it up for them but I've had them for quite a while now and it's time for something new. I'm giving them to a...
