Stocking & Bio-Spira

[hiittman]

I'm about to set up a 29 gallon using Bio spira.Will 8 tetras be enough to keep the cycle going until I figure out what else I want?

that should be enough ammonia produced. why not wait until you find out your stocking plan?

As Icecubez said, it would be better to get your stocking straight then add all or most of the fish and the bio-spira also. If you add only part, the bacteria will have to multiply to consume the addition bio-load, this may cause a mini-cycle.

Well I was thinking about quarintine issues also

 

[icecubez189]

if it's a new tank, theres really no reason (well if you want to) to quarantine the fish since your not protecting it from an established tank

Any suggestions for a 29 ?

I like this guide for good community fish.

Read the descriptions for each fish, but all in the list can live together with no problems.
