i just got a 30 gal tank and wanted to know what i could put in it,i have a baby pleco im going to put in(im giving him to a good lfs when he gets about four inches)and two female bettas,what would be ok to put in with them.:)
12" wide
18" tall
30" long


thanks
 
if you really need to put the two females in i would get a few more to spread out agression.
then i would get some mid-dwellers like tetras (you could have a large school of 12 and a smaller one of 8 or two schools of 10 or however you want to as long as there are at least 6 to a school. acctually, you could get 3 different schools of 6 but two bigger schools are better IME)
and some smaller catfish such as corys (get 5 of them)
 
sounds like a good setup,but i dont have any other female bettas that are nice,im ordering these from candycat,these females are four months old and live together now,if they do start picking ill seperate them,when i give my pleco away could i possibly get a clown pleco?i was just wondering if this is a big enough tank.
 
fortunately for you, 30G is the max size a 1oz packrt can cycle. they are pretty expensive and this size will run you about $15-$20 depending on which store you get it from. i cycled my 20G successfully with the 1oz packet.

thanks,how fast does bio spira work?
 
BioSpira should cycle the tank within 1-3 days and should be added at the same time as you add your desired fishload.

A clown pleco doesn't grow very large and will be fine in a 30g tank.
