I'm thinking about setting up a 29g planted tank. I'd likely plant it with Cabomba, maybe some hornwort (I could make a living off of the hornwort I grow in just one ten gallon tank), and some Java Lance Fern. I would be decorating with storebought driftwood and homemade rock formations (I've had a lot of success using local rocks in other tanks).
Any comments on the following mix of fish?
-2 Kribensis moved from their current 20 to have more space
-3 small loaches (I was thinking Zebras or Kuhlis)
-1 or 2 Spotted African Leaf Fish (I think they're Ctenopoma acutirostre)
-1 small pleco (a clown would look good)
-3 or so cherry barbs
-either ~5 purple passion danios or ~5 silver hatchets
I could leave out the barbs if they'd be terrorized by the Kribs or Leaf Fish, and would go with the danios instead of the hatchets if people think that they, too, would be better off without more active tankmates.
Also, possibly instead of the barbs, I was wondering if I could keep 1 male and two female livebearers in order to produce fry. I'm sure the Leaf Fish (and probably the Kribs) would appreciate, plus I've never kept livebearers of any kind.
