is it a 29g or a 30g? One gallon makes a noticeable difference in terms of footprint (30"x12" vs 36"x12")
German Blue Rams and cory's not getting along.

Or what if I got an angelfish and then had this in the tank:
2 x GBR
8 x Harlequin Rasbora
1 x Angelfish
Is that ok or am I dreaming here with a 30g? Thanks again for any help...
EDIT: Actually, I don't think I'd want to get an angel, since it's also a cichlid and I just sense there being a problem between it an the Rams. I want to nix the cory cats and replace them with something else. Ideas??
This is concrete:
8 x Harlequin Rasbora
2 x GBR
What next????????
Build my tank!
2 x GBR

It's your tank, not mine
Very true... Thank you for knocking some sense into me! :grinyes:
After I have it fully stocked I'm going to try and add about an inch or two more of sand at the bottom (currently only around 1 inch), and buy a light to hopefully start with some live plants! My dream is to have a tank with beautiful aquascaping that you see on sites like these. One day...
Usually, fish of similar shapes will school together, though similar coloration/patterning is also a strong indicator. Even if you had both types though, they shouldn't fight or anything, so the worst it'd be is you would have 2 separate, small schools of hatchets.
There's no reason you can't start planting now, if you'd like to. As the planting gets denser, the fish's territoriality will seemingly go down simply because their line of vision is broken up and it's hard to give a good chase if you can't see the "enemy," haha.
Rasboras and tetras tend to go well with cichlids, in my experience. They're fast enough to get away, smart enough to stay away. Cories are just plain adorable... and a little bit dopey when it comes to learning. Heh.
