Pervis B asked in PetsFish · 7 years ago

please help me stock my 30 gallon aquarium.?

As u can see its a 30 gallon long. Right now all I have is a blue jewel cichlid. Iys not aggressive at all. I had tiger barbs in there with it to help cycle my tank, (unfortunatelY they all died) fault. But now its been 2 weeks & I checked the levels.

I was thinking:

Bottom feeder; 1redtail shark or rainbow shark. Or 6 cory.

Middle/top: tiger barbs (small school), rosy barbs, or plattys

Top: male betta, a couple of females too

complimentary: jewl cichlid (already have) kissing Gourami, pearl Gourami, or snakeskin gourami.

But any suggestions Im open to anything. Thanks for your help.

    Try cardinal tetras. They school and look really cool. Get the 6 Cory's because rainbow and red tails can get aggressive. And get a dwarf gourami (male). They are really colorful. And for cycling get zebra danios. NOT the giant ones.
