Hey everyone
As some of you know, I got a 29g at the $1 per gallon sale at petco. I set it up and cycled it. I have come up with many stocking ideas, and settled on one. But now the fish have died in qt for the most part.
My plan I was going for
3 male guppies
6ish long finned zebra danios
1 dwarf flame gourami
and some corries (never decided what kind).
I put the guppies and a couple long finned danios in the 29 to keep the cycle. I waited about a week, and moved my single guppy from my 10g and got it ready to be a qt tank. I got 3 more long finned danios and put them in the 10g for qt. So I kind of had 2 qt tanks going. In the end, there wasnt much to loose other than one guppy I had for a year.
So one guppy died, then a while later a danio, then another guppy, then another danio. Then I went and got the dwarf gourami and put him in the 10g for qt (keeping the danios in there as well). He seemed totally fine and then was dead when I got home one day. Now today my last guppy died. More specifics can be found here

So anyway, now I am left with 4 fish. All long finned zebra danios that all seem fine. One of them is a little shy, but seems healthy other than that. He swims around and then hides if you walk up to the tank. 2 in the 10g qt and two in the 29g.
What should I do for stocking now? Guppies are out of the question. The only thing for sure now is maybe one or two more long finned zebra danios.
I am thinking a colorful school of something like cardinal tetras or some other tetra.
What do you think?
