Favorite Fish?

**Denorios** · 02-10-2007, 04:11 PM

Alright, I've finished rebuilding my 29 gallon freshwater tank, I even did a fishless cycle like everyone was telling me to do (although it happened kind of by accident). I've had 4 zebra danios and 3 ghost shrimp in there for two weeks, just to make sure it was really cycled.

So now it's time to start stocking the tank, and I'm looking for suggestions. What would all of you buy if you were setting up a community tank? I'm heading to the LFS this afternoon.

At the moment I suppose my favorite fish is my new baby redcap oranda goldfish. Hes in a 10 gallon but I plan to expand as he grows.

Right now I'd have to say my Male Sailfin Molly is my fav fish :)

Only get a rainbow shark if you can provide 1 hiding place that he can call his own.

Also with RS, subdued lighting must be provided at night so he will come out more readily to feed. i feed mine tubifex worm cubes. 1/4 a cube a day almost!
