Hello all,
I just took advantage of the Petco $1/gallon sale today and got myself a nice 29 gallon tank. This is my first tank in a while, and I'm not used to doing community tanks as in the past I've always had much larger tanks with few predatory fish. Anyways got the tank, an Aqueon HOB filter rated for a 50 gallon tank, the heater as well as the glass cover. The tank is a bit over filtered so I'm looking to get a nice amount of decent, colorful tropical fish. I would love for this tank to be a discus tank, but I really don't see the tank being big enough to work out and I'm aware of how fussy discus can be. With discus out of the question I'm open to suggestions on other equally as colorful tropical fish suitable for this tank. The few that have immediately come to mind are serpae tetras, cardinal tetras as well as blue rams. Please chime in with suggestions on what would add some color to this anticipated tropical community tank. Thanks in advance for your help.
