I Was Looking for Stock List Help?
I have a FW 29 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump, black sand, good filtration, powerful lighting, and a decent amount of rock. My question has to do with the stocking. I would like bolivian rams and a mixture of various tetra species.
How would you do my stocklist?
Fish fish fish tank aquarium-so that it takes me to the right category...I'm lazy.
By that I meant I haven't decided what types of tetras I want.
You're not completely right though. Cardinals will school with neons and black neons etc.
Unless rams are harder to care for than most saltwater fish, I think I'll be okay.

Rams, although peaceful and require a minimum 20 gallon tank, are very difficult to take care of.
You're 29 gallon tank will hold up to 18 fish. You can choose from 6 Danios, 6 Minnows and 6 Tetras. Just make sure that the school you choose, it is 6 of the same kind. It's not wise to keep an offset number of fish that shoal together because they will feel stressed and will not interact as well as they would in nature.

Sorry to say, but the tank is too small for a "mixture of various tetra species" as tetras should be in groups of at least 6 of their own species. You'd do best to have a group of 8-10 of one species of tetra. To this, add maybe 4-6 of one species of Corydoras, and a small pleco species like a clown pleco. If you want something to hang out towards the top, try a few golden wonder killifish.

If you're interested in Bolivian rams and tetras, you could have a pair of rams as the show fish, and then a school of six small tetras such as neon.
