What to do?...

[dougie]

I have a 29 gallon tank that has 3 live plants, 3 fake plants, amd 2 lava rocks. There is also a red tail shark. Im willing to do almost anything, if it means returning the shark, new rocks, planted tank, co2, big fish...whatever. Any suggestions? I want something out of the ordinary.

if you want a good community, return the shark.

are you looking into any certain biotope?

 

[dougie]

not really. What about two angelfish, and some cory cats in a planted tank. I know corys woulb be fine, but would angelfish not do well in a planted tank?

 

[jm1212]

angels do best in a planted tank.

two angels and 6 corydoras would be fine for a 29 gallon

 

[dougie]

thank you very much for responding so quickly. Would 3 angelfish be fine?

 

[dougie]

and/or shrimp?

 

[jm1212]

3 would be to many, and shrimp you get eaten by the corydoras or angels

 

[dougie]

I know shrimp play an important part in a planted tank so would corys do the same job? Also, how much is an average co2 setup cost?

 

[jm1212]

not sure about the co2 setup, but corydoras should be able to clean up in a planted tank

I am very attached to my red tail shark. Do you think I could try out having him with angelfish. I know he would harass the corys though.
