What should I get?

[blue2fyre]

could i keep assorted african cichlids with rams?

no no no. Rams are a bit on the mild side and africans are rather mean.

ok, im still not sure what to get though because i think im going to put a ram or two in my 29 gallon. i want a semi-rare very pretty easy to breed cichlid (i like blue) any suggestions?

also, id love to put the festivum in my 29, do you think it would kill any of my fish? (non bottom dwellers are dwarf gourami, angelfish, and goldfish)

A Festivum requires a minimum of a 55G IMO.

I couldn't agree more. I base this not on maximum size, but from experience... HN's female festivum OWNS his 55 gallon.

wait, so you already have the gourami, angel, and goldfish in your 29?

Not only is that improperly stocked, but it's overstocked as well. No more fish.

4 feet sounds like a better minimum. :thm:

Some Sea Monkeys would work well in that tank though.

Sea monkeys now that's funny i don't care who you are..

I had festivums in a 120gal and they did fine there but they are a more deep bodied fish and are very timid by nature and will not survive stressful sitautions..

The 29gal would be a good setup for the angel and maybe a pair of rams..

The 20gal would be a sweet Tanganyika shellie setup only like Neolamp Multifasciatus, stay away from Mbuna in either setup as for these they get big and are rough on residents..
