I set up a 20 gallon with a Paradise Fish with Gold White Cloud Minnows and Hi-Fin Paleatus Corys on the bottom. Heavily planted as well and he’s such a water pet following me around if my attention is on him. If not, its the mbuna cichlids following me around (tank next to his) and boy does he get jealous!
As a keeper of red eye puffers I can say from experience that they are in fact VERY agressive. They are ambush predators that eat small fish mollusks and inverts. Small darty fish like tetras rasboras or barbs will work for small periods as the puffer will hunt them. I started with a pair in a 55G and within 3 hours I had one left. Think of them as just a small dragon or hump backed puffer. Slow, methodical, likes to hide. Will eat anything they are in a tank with. And smart. If they can't catch the smaller fish normally they will wait till you feed the small fish and attack then (again while in a 55 one of these things destroyed a school of 20 neon tetras in 5 days, ands 50 head school of tiger barbs in a week and a half) so please don't keep these with other fish unless your trying to use the other fish as feeders. Mine now lives in a 40breeder heavily planted and gets feeder live bearers to eat. Sometimes Molly's guppys swordtails plattys all of them.
Africans can go in a 29. You can have a solid stock of say roughly 7. For example, yellow lab, demasoni, few zebras like the red, cobalt or albino, a peacock or two. It sounds over crowded but that's the point. It'd work better then people think.
Great suggestions and good to hear all the different fish and not just your typical neon tetra recommendations. Where do I find dwarf Pygmy sunfish? Those sound awesome!
Hi, I am stocking a heavy planted 15 gallon cube with 3 dwarf pufferfish and a colony of shrimp, if the shrimp die I will go for otocinculus catfish. What size filtration do I need. There is already a really bad filter installed with only 8 gallon filtration. Do you think a 80 gallon/h canister is too much
You have to look at the flow rate, if its blowing the shrimp, fish and plants around a lot and has a strong current in the tank it can be too much, especially being that puffers like calmer waters. Shrimps with puffers...risky; puffers love to eat...the shrimp will be tempting for them, plants will help...but the risk is still there!
I got peapuffers but had to fish the otos out they had nipped fins. I still have neocardina shrimps in there though the peapuffers dont eat the adults but im sure they eat some babies but the smartest strongest still survive cause my colony is growing but slower then in my other tanks
Im upgrading to a 29. I currently have a angelfish, red spotted severum, Kribensis, blood red parrot cichlid. I have a 55 if I need to set it up once these fish grow fully but I’m wanting to add one more fish into the 29 I get tomorrow they are currently in a 20, but no aggression issues, I don’t mind if the fish stays small but looking for something with color thought about doing a firemouth
That Severum will still hit 7 inches regardless of tank size...currently my 7 inch red spotted severum man handles my 8 inch red terror cichlid...so be cautious!!!
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS yeah I am sure my red spotted severum is the alpha cichlid then blood red then my firemouth. I’ll post a video of my tank and get your idea trying to figure out a light set up right now
Red eye red tail puffers are aggressive to each other, only one in a 29 maybe 2 females but have a backup plan, otherwise pretty peaceful to other fish. I keep them with white clouds and otocinclus catfish as well as a few large (small will get eaten) zebra nerites and ghost shrimp (occasionally one disappears from time to time, but for the most part they are fast enough to get away)
@@dwsdarius so yes they are a lot like pea puffers, generally don't want to keep pea puffers in large groups either, once they reach sexual maturity a group of pea puffers get nasty. When it comes to pea puffers I go with a male and two females in a well planted 10 gallon. Which seems like a lot of tank for three of them until you watch them interact. As for red red eye red tails a 40 breeder in like a 10 gallon for a trio, it seems like a lot of tank for 3 until you see them get at each other. The reason I get a large group of pea puffer, because when in the store they are to young to sex, but once they are old enough, I keep the ones I want and find homes for the ones that aren't getting along so well. Their are big personality difference in between all puffers, you can get ones that are sweet as peach pie and other that absolute terrors and as time goes on the sweethearts can get dark while the pycos calm down. I think that's why people can have such differing opinions based off of experiences. Having kept both for a good many years this is what seems to work for me. 1male 2 female per 10 gallons for pea puffers, 1male 2 females per 40 gallons for red eye red tails. Any water amounts lower than that I go with a single puffer
I am getting a 29 gallon tank soon and am trying to figure out what to stock it with. I know that I am going to do some aquascaping possibly one or two pieces of thin drift wood and various plants. I have really fallen in love with platinum angel fish as well as black Mollies however, through my research I have gotten some mixed results about stocking them. I would like to have a small school of 4-6 black mollies and a pair of platinum angels along with a couple of albino corys. I really like the idea of having sleek black and white fish in my tank for the contrast but I don’t know what would be best for a 29 gallon. For the tank I have a sump filter that can support up to 75 gallons so it can take a pretty hefty bio load but I’m not sure if a pair of angels and a small school of mollies would thrive in a 29 gallon. Anyways if anyone could help me out with this that would be great.
Well the mix could work, but a pair of angel fish may not be best in this sized tank because if they are a mated pair they can become very territorial which would be bad in this size tank, if they are not a mated pair, then the most dominate will be aggressive towards the least dominate angel fish and the could result in death or stress...so 1 angel fish would be best. As for the mollies, to prevent aggression between males I'd recommend 1 male and the rest females.
Different danio...some of the most colorful being purple passion danio and glow light danio. Certain barbs can also live in a hillstream tank like Odessa barbs or cherry barbs. If you mix US native fish you have choices like rainbow dace and black nose dace
Hey I'm cycling a new 29 gallon and want to put Roseline Sharks (Barbs) and Corydoras only. My question is what's the max number of each species to have the best success.
have a 29 gallon tank with, 1 bristle nose pleco, 1 golden wonder killifish, and one firmouth chiclid, do you think I could add 1 appistogramma cacatuoides, and 1 Kribensis female because I have heard they are not so territorial. Do you think I could make this work there is a lot of hiding places and rocks. I know some people have had African chiclid in a 29 so I thought this could maybe work?
I have a 14g/50L tank to stock and I have some ideas. The tanks is well filtrated and water changed. Heavily planted. Would they work and which one is your favourite? 1 Powder blue dwarf gourami 6 ember tetra 4 Pygmy hatchetfish Yellow Sakura shrimp 3 pea puffer Blue dream shrimp Orange killifish Blue neon tetra 4 Pygmy hatchetfish Black rose shrimp 3 dario dario 6 green neon rasboras 6 kuhli loaches
The puffer and shrimp combo is a no go because the puffer may try to eat the shrimp, same with the killifish...the Dario, rasbora and kuhli combo sounds like it would look very cool
Yeah, I have changes the stocking alot now. 6 green fire tetra, 1 powder blue dwarf gourami, blue bolt shrimp and orange rili shrimp. I have a video on my tank on my channel :)
DWSDARIUS, on the Kribensis cichlids, what is the common name and scientific name of the one at 10:53 on the right hand side (the one with the spots on its tail)?
Pelvicachromis taeniatus 'Nigerian red'...really no common name. The right photo and the middle photo are of the same species...the one on the right just showing breeding colors
So I want to get a 29 gallon, I know I want to get 6-8 panda corys and then some other small school fish. How much do you think I could get if they are small like tetras or guppies ??
I am in the process of setting up 4 29g tanks and was just pondering what to stock them with. Great timing! Unfortunately you gave me a few ideas and I only have 4 tanks to play ! What to do? What to do?
Don't know of you're into amphibians or not, but I've had my axolotl for 4 years now and have loved him, they're by far the most durable thing ive ever cared for. One would be super happy in a 29.
Coryadorus are the best imo. Other catfish that can fit in that size tank will be unnoticeable because of their nocturnal behavior; catfish like the south american bumblebee catfish, stone catfish, flagtail porthole catfish...this video has more: th-cam.com/video/gMATcDnnsME/w-d-xo.html
I just started a 29 gallon and got two dwarf Gouramis 1 angel 1pleco and 1 rainbow shark so far my angel was my first fish added the dwarf Gouramis and he was so happy they hang and swim together
Great video! What all puffers could fit into this tank as a solo fish? I’ve seen Congo Puffers & Figure 8s in 30gallon, Any others other than the one you listed & pea puffers??
Sometimes its best to keep pictus catfish in groups of their own kind that way they can spread their aggression among each other. If you don't have space for more or just don't want more than consider the fish your mixing them with, they do best with more aggressive fish like south and central american cichlids
I got other things in there like plecos and I did try get one more the store ran out but I think the problem is it's really bored in my tank even tho he's got loads of space it keeps swiming up and down the glass
Could you please give the exact measurements of your 29 gallon tank? Manufacturer's tend to not give you what they say is a 32 gallon or 38 gallon tank. I know when one measures the inside of the tank then divide by 231 you get the true gallons it holds.
Yes sometimes the measurements are not 100% accurate, mine actually measured 30 1/4 x 12 1/2 x 18 3/4 inches outside, I never measured inside but you know if I'd probably lose 3 or 4 gallons
I would keep a mix of hillstream loachs (both reticulated and borneo suckers) maybe 7-8 each, a pair of dwarf goby (many different types, but only one pair per tank), a school of danio (one type in my opinion would look best), and maybe a few other mid level swimmers
What solo fish would be cool my 30 gallon tall. Its 60*40*50 cm With cool i mean predatory or just a little bit big or something that u dont always see
Leaf fish, especially south American leaf fish will work with your design...so if you include a good stick (driftwood) scape, they won't mind that tank size...same with the crocodile fish...which is very similar to a gourami , and you know gourami spend a lot of time going up and down to take breaths from the surface...so it also won't mind the tall tank. A solo convict cichlid, given that you spend a lot of time in front of it...would spend the majority of its time swimming in circle trying to get you to feed it (similar behavior with most cichlids kept solo)...so I also believe that it could work in that tank size
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS just another quastion. Are convic rare in «big» pet stores, since i have keept blue ram so i now much fun i had keeping cichlids. But my problem is that i now of lots of small pet store(mostly inside a mall) and only one «big» one. Sooo, i would like to now if those are rare or not, since taken out all my fish from my 30 this summer so i dont want to wait 3 months for some custom delivery. And i have though about buying it online, but im not sure, sinces lots of things could go bad. So are convits rare?
My female Pearl Gourami is an arshole. She chases everything at feeding time and for about 2 hours afterwards. But in the evening when the lights dim she doesn't care if they swim circles around her.
29 gallon idea:
A really happy betta.
I have a Betta in a 37 gallon bow front with a colony of Bristlenose plecos.
@Joe Mama thats not correct. Larger the tank and more hiding spaces and plants bettas are happy
@Joe Mama yes and tank mates are good like if u keep some mdeium sized tetras (nonfin nippers and peaceful) they would like it
@Joe Mama short finned bettas don't get stressed if its hard for them to swim and there aren't enough resting places long finned bettas get stressed.
Me too! He went from a tiny bowl into mine!
Only if my local fish store had any of these fish🙄
Kynan Miels same
I’m lucky to live near 6 fish stores in a 10 mile radius and all of them are stocked with all of the fish mentioned lol.
@@joshrealms244 lucky
Order them online
I want to see 350 possibilities for a 350g lol
Lol, its possible...but way too much work trying to get pictures of them all

1 possibilitity for 1 fish
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS maybe no pictures???

I’ve been watching many aquarium videos looking to get back in the hobby after 25 years. Your video is the first one to show the Hillstream Loaches.
They are very cool fish to keep!
This list is very different, unique compared to others. How hard is it to find some of these species?
In my opinion african butterflys are highly underrated and they are not aggressiv at all
They are with each other. Only get one unless you have a really large tank.
YES YOU DONT UDERSTAND HOW MUCH I NEEDED THIS I HAVE A 29
Hope it helps!
Nice video and I really like your fish choices, but many of these fish you show are hard to source.
Nice you probably answered 1000s of people's question
Thanks, hopefully!
He sure did!!! Best video for 29gs
Im glad I found this video, i'm getting a 29g tomorrow
Did it go well?
Tomorrow morning I’m getting a 33g and I’m so excited. Sadly I’m not getting more fish. Just upgrading for my fish in the 10g.
Awesome!
Thank you! Beginner here and you did a wonderful job!
Thanks!
Great video...your quality is always increasing...great job
Thank you!
These fish are hard to find in pet stores

Christian P No you cant stop spreading that around
Well, if there overstocked they can’t really establish territory so in a bad way it works
yellow labs and demasoni can work but docile fish like peacocks will be harmed and zebras get pretty big
@@goldfishthedestroyer3233 only way to have a colony of demasoni it seems
Thank you, I have a 36 gallon bowfront I'm going to be moving my goldfish out of, so looking for a warmer water fish/Fishes to fill the slot.

Hello lol
You do it
Great suggestions and good to hear all the different fish and not just your typical neon tetra recommendations. Where do I find dwarf Pygmy sunfish? Those sound awesome!
I saw some for a sale on aquabid.com, wetspottropicals and jonahsaquarium.com
I have six of them, beautiful.
Elassoma evergladei i think is the latin name.
I cant find them in Europe 😢
You could also try shell dwelling cichlids
That's definitely a option...thanks!
A expensive option for sure! I was going to do shell dwellers for my 20... 22 dollars a fish... I'm a broke guy so yeah.. lmao
@@dwsdarius O damn they are cheap here, in the shop for 5-7,50 euro's and people sell them for like 1,50-3,- (multi's)
Others are around 10-17,50

Do you know if hill stream loaches would eat shrimp?
They won't from my experience
Nope they won't. I have mine in a tank with ghost and bamboo shrimp.
I have 9 black neon tetras 5 julii Cory's and 3 amano shrimp I would like a dwarf cichlid pair. Would that be ok and if so what dwarf cichlid
Sounds like an apisotogramma pair would work with them.
@@dwsdarius ok just because I had heard they can get a bit upset with Cory's
If they breed they will defend their nest from cory's...but I don't think that they will just attack cories

Where do you buy fish? My local pet stores don’t have like 60% of the fish you mentioned.

Blue dream shrimp
Orange killifish
Blue neon tetra
4 Pygmy hatchetfish

Please tell me where to buy the puffer I have searched so much for no answer. Please tell me.
Trins Fish just had them in stock, sold out now but maybe he'll get them back
Nice selection, but it needs more tetras.
Thanks, yeah their are a few awesome tetra colonies that could work well
Of course. Most of us are simply going to put a schooling fish of tetras in our 29 gallon tanks and a few side fish.

That's cool, hopefully it works out with the gourami...the can be aggressive towards their own kind
What could I keep with tiger barbs in 29.
Great video! What all puffers could fit into this tank as a solo fish? I’ve seen Congo Puffers & Figure 8s in 30gallon, Any others other than the one you listed & pea puffers??
Avacado puffers and Amazon puffers could work in this sized tank
Me waiting for 2000 fish ideas for a 2000 gallon tank
Great info Darius.
Thank you!
great video! I like all the suggestions!
Thank you
I have a dwarf gourami, neon tetras, few male fancy guppies and a few otocinclus. Looking for 1-2 more fish to add. 29 gallon planted tank. Any ideas?
2-3 Kuhli loaches? Cory cats, a scarlet badis...
My pictus catfish got a couple bodies on him he needs to chill what can I do
Sometimes its best to keep pictus catfish in groups of their own kind that way they can spread their aggression among each other. If you don't have space for more or just don't want more than consider the fish your mixing them with, they do best with more aggressive fish like south and central american cichlids
I got other things in there like plecos and I did try get one more the store ran out but I think the problem is it's really bored in my tank even tho he's got loads of space it keeps swiming up and down the glass
Very cool and informative video! I'm new to this channel but really enjoyed it!
Thank you!

You should do a saltwater version of these videos
I don't really have much experience with saltwater fish
Awsome jobe mate thank you for the content!!!
Thank you!
I have 3 danios, 3 blacks skirt tetras and 2 red tetras, 2 corys, 2 snails, and 3 black mollies :)
Sounds like a active tank!

BenjaminW8809 now I just have like 8 guppies, two red eye tetras, and w black skirt tetras. One nerite snail.
I think night goby should be Knight Goby right?

Could you please give the exact measurements of your 29 gallon tank? Manufacturer's tend to not give you what they say is a 32 gallon or 38 gallon tank. I know when one measures the inside of the tank then divide by 231 you get the true gallons it holds.
Yes sometimes the measurements are not 100% accurate, mine actually measured 30 1/4 x 12 1/2 x 18 3/4 inches outside, I never measured inside but you know if I'd probably lose 3 or 4 gallons
This is a great video🤙🏻
Hey,
Just thinking, what fish and how many should I put in a 105 gallon hillstream tank.
I would keep a mix of hillstream loachs (both reticulated and borneo suckers) maybe 7-8 each, a pair of dwarf goby (many different types, but only one pair per tank), a school of danio (one type in my opinion would look best), and maybe a few other mid level swimmers
What mid level swimmers?
Fish Profiles look up buffalo head cichlids. They’re hard to find but really cool and love fast flowing water
First !!Great work!! Awesome content!!! Keep pushing the outstanding videos!!!
Thank you!

Hey,
This is more of a personal question but you don’t have to answer. Is this your job? Or do you work aswell as this?
I wish this was my job, but its not...I work a regular 9am-5pm, although now its more like 7am-8pm😪
Thank you for this video!
This guy sounds like a very slightly more enthusiastic penguinz0/cr1tikal
Ah yes the beloved beasties.
Dws darius what is name of the fish that swam in front of the bichir i beginning of this video
At 50 seconds
That's a juvenile geophagus brasiliensis
Cool i bought one at 6 inches for $12 is that a good deal. And ty for the reply my lfs called it a turquoise cichlid
2000 stock ideas for a 2000g
Trying to buy Pygmy sunfish accidentally gets a ocean sunfish
Only mollies and dwarf gourami are available here,and rarely puffer thta also a common one.lol
rainbow fish are cheep whaaaat in au
What solo fish would be cool my 30 gallon tall.
Its 60*40*50 cm
With cool i mean predatory or just a little bit big or something that u dont always see
Leaf Fish, male convict cichlid, peppermint crocodile fish...
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS hmm, ok.
So those goes in a 30 tall right.
I was just unsure that those u said in the video were mostly for longer tanks.
Leaf fish, especially south American leaf fish will work with your design...so if you include a good stick (driftwood) scape, they won't mind that tank size...same with the crocodile fish...which is very similar to a gourami , and you know gourami spend a lot of time going up and down to take breaths from the surface...so it also won't mind the tall tank. A solo convict cichlid, given that you spend a lot of time in front of it...would spend the majority of its time swimming in circle trying to get you to feed it (similar behavior with most cichlids kept solo)...so I also believe that it could work in that tank size
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS oh OK, thanks
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS just another quastion.
Are convic rare in «big» pet stores, since i have keept blue ram so i now much fun i had keeping cichlids.
But my problem is that i now of lots of small pet store(mostly inside a mall) and only one «big» one.
Sooo, i would like to now if those are rare or not, since taken out all my fish from my 30 this summer so i dont want to wait 3 months for some custom delivery. And i have though about buying it online, but im not sure, sinces lots of things could go bad.
So are convits rare?
I had 2 male and 1 female dwarf Gourami and they legit never fought
Some kinds of fish have different personalities, and yours were pretty chill. Some gourami are assholes.
My female Pearl Gourami is an arshole. She chases everything at feeding time and for about 2 hours afterwards. But in the evening when the lights dim she doesn't care if they swim circles around her.
Night goby's are brackish water!!
