I am restocking the tank because I can't justify having a 29 gallon tank for one female german blue ram.
Ooops, my bad, i didn't catch the current tank is planted. My A.D.D. must be kicking in again.
Its rocks only. It started as a planted, with Rasboras and Cories. But then I got the 135 gallon.
Rasboras or sepraes or red phantoms would be a nice contrast to the green plants.
I never said no cichlids. Cichlids is what I would prefer to do with this tank. I just don't know enough to narrow down my search to dwarf species. I can alway rehome the plants to my two other tanks if the main reason no one is suggesting or recommending cichlids is the current set up. I already have rocks I can make caves and rocky shoal areas out of.
Shell dwelling cichlids would be cool. Multis only get to around 1.5" so space wouldn't be a huge problem. You could have plants like giant vals or others as long as they're well rooted and established before you introduce the cichlids.

A gang of Exodons would be sweet too, and they'd appreciate the guppy snacks too. Any other fish you drop in too.

The top one looks like a candidate. I wonder if it would get along with cichlids. More research to do. I am thinking I might give up on the planted tank in the 29 gallon since it isn't doing that well to begin with. I can always add the plants to my 10 and 75 gallon to fill them out.a dwarf red honey gourami
Do you like any of these??
Highgrovemanor and jpappy789 if I took out all the plants but my anubia nana and my widelov that are attached to driftwood, and I left the driftwood in and added rocky caves, and shoals could I do 2 male and 5 female Saulosi. Is it possible to have any other tank mates with them?
I am checking out the shell dwellers right now too.

Also take into account that a lot of bottom dwelling species (loaches, corys, etc.) also need schools and bingo!....you're down even more
I don't know much about saulosi...ask in the african subforum.
Depends on the cichlids...it's a fairly large and diverse group. DG's could work with dwarf varieties but anything large or aggressive is a big no-no.
Anybody have experience with killifish. The pictures I see are fantastic, but I would like more first hand knowledge on their care. If I chose more than one varriety would I have to worry about inter breeding?
