    Thanks guys!!

    It has only been two months! It feels like alot longer. Well my last Rainbow died today, have no clue why. These lil buggers are very delicate.

    Decided I'm sick of haven an empty tank, so i put the lil zebra danio (...this was the mystery fish we found as a fry stuck in some java moss) and the two corys in the planted.

    the otto had been alone in the tank for a while and you could almost see him dancing with glee to have another fishy friend. Was really cute to watch the zebra and the otto. they swirled all around the tank together. when the otto would land the zebra would swim loops around it. And the Otto would free swim back and forth on the top with the zebra. They are peas and carrots.

    the corys are a bit overwhelmed. Way to many nooks and crannies to explore.

    I'm looking to stock this tank. What sorta pleco should i get? (good on the plants and maybe eats algae?) id like a couple bottom dwellers without being aggressive, mid swimmers and I'm thinking ill get a few more zebras, and one more otto. any suggestions?

    Yup Yup. A nice lil school of them (tetras) would be soo sweet.
    Hatchetfish are good for the top...and obviously as you know danios work great too (I like the longfin variation).

    well dawn you got any babies youd ship me? (plecos)

    and i like the long finned type too. my LFS just got a shipment from a local breeder, so i think thats exactly what ill go pick up.

    what about bala sharks? I know they get bigger, but do they grow very quickly? any idea how they do in planted tanks?

    my son wants a rope fish...these get very large too. How long you think one would be happy in a 29g?

    <--always has baby bristlenoses
    No to the bala
    No to the ropefish
    Get yourself 1-2 more cory cats
    Get yourself 2 more Zebra Danios
    We're pleasing a boy...hmmm...what about a Bamboo/Wood/Flower Shrimp?....Or Cherry Shrimp?
    Can do a Betta too...or maybe a dwarf Gourami?
