need some ideas.....

In my humble opinion rosy barbs and congo tetras would grow too large for 29 gal and would appreciate much more swimming area. Judging from fish you currently have ,I have doubts that the german blue or gold rams would do well in the long term. they need soft acidic conditions with ph values not too much above 7.0 and the bolivian ram might be a better choice.

Why not go for something entirly else? What about CPOs (Cambarellus patzcuarensis) Mexican Orange Dwarf Crayfish, you can see my guys under my aquarium log.

angel i like the idea of shrimp but wouldn't they be better off in one of my 10's or even one of the spare 20's i have? i know the 29 is not a huge tank but i am thinking more along the lines of single species fish (may be two)perhaps with a bit of spunk to them and if not agressive then a bit more active than what i have had previously.... mmmm considering tiger barbs.... maybe 8-10 of them with a respectable shoal of corries...

They're actually Crayfish, grow to a size of 2"-2.5" each and having a gang full of them in a 29 would be awsome. Or just a few these and some Killi fish?
OR African Dwarf Frogs set up for you?

Yea I keep eying back & forth with the tiger barbs too, I'm at a loss really how I wanna stock the 55...

sorry angel i was not paying attention when i replied i looked yesterday and answered today .... i am an idiot.... LOL.... hhhmmmmmmmm frogs huh??? i was thinking after the room is build about doing a viv for tree frogs but i have not really considered african dwarfs before....... Killi? i will look them up also... thank you ...

Or do something totally brand new to yourself, built a paludarium!? Googel images for it....

damn my wife is gonna kill me... LOL... i love that idea it is very close to the plan i laid out in a previous post..... but that may wait a bit longer i relly am thinking fish for this tank......although with a 20 just kinda sitting there all alone and *sniff* puppy eyes* sniff* with no one to keep it company... LOL oh she is gonna really get me now....ok back on topic FISH..... kinda dig the Killies but still open to ideas nothing is set yet...

I just found something for myself (stocking ideas 55g) check out Inpaichthys kerri - Purple Emperor Tetra - Again I donno what water you have, but I sure like these fish and then a BIG school of them for the 55g
