29 gal asian river tank stocking suggestions

Hillstream loaches and white clouds

I would skip the tigers.

What I would do, JMO.

Option 1
8 Gold/Cherry Barbs
12 white clouds
6 hillstream loaches

Option 2
20 white clouds
6 hillstream loaches

Option 3

16 Gold/Cherry Barbs
6 Hillstream Loaches


I would also add asian stone catfish(moth catfish), really cool fish.
And you would probably want to get a koralia powerhead as those fish need extra flow

There are other fish that would work too.

and the bamboo shrimp

I am pretty sure tigers have a minimum of 72F, but not sure. Cherry and Gold Barbs are much better IMO as they are more peaceful, and you can add other fish too. Tiger barbs get 3" so, the max you could get would be 8-10 which isn't a big school.

If you want them, then go for it, but remember, the tigers limit the rest of your stocking

without them, you can get all of the following mix n match, gold barbs, cherry barbs, white clouds, hillstreams, and moth catfish

I don't know, but prob. not, as they are pretty aggressive, it depends on the personalities, they could be more peacefulish, or really mean.
