29 Gallon Platy Tank Start Off

[Sierra0103]

Hey Guys!
I have a 29 gallon aquarium with 4 Marigold Varitus Platys in it.
Im wanting to add some more Platys and some other kind of fish (bottom feeder) but I have no ideas... any suggestions? (was thinking a BN pleco)
The tank has live plants and a filter larger enough to filter a 75 gallon.
Just wanted to share and get commentary and suggestions on it?

Nice, so far. How about a school of corys instead?

 

[Sierra0103]

Thanks!
yea i am think about corys now.
My stock plan for this tank is
x10 platies
x6 corys
Could i add more to each type?
or is it to full?

You could do a bunch of dwarf corys or a school of something like Julii, Sterbai, etc. You can definitely add more platys. Prepare for lots of live births though.

 

[Sierra0103]

Ok ^^ And i am prepared for all the live births

Or you can add a small fry predetor to keep the stock within limits.

2nd the smallfry predator. Ha, smallfry. Dwarf pleco or corys. Corys LOVE fry...it's like a game for them.

Add some small coconut huts or something hidden in the grass if you get a pleco or bottom feeders. It'll help them feel more secure and have a place to sleep during the day when they wish.
