Another Stocking Question

[acetennis2002]

Well my 29 gal. tank is finally cycled i just tested the water levels and they all check out. The only problem is im having truble thinking of what to put in it. It has a 1.5in substrate of white sand and 3 big rocks and 1 smaller rock along with a few shells. But that can all change if it needs to so i can acomidate for the new kinds of fish. I have been thinking of trying to do a more agressive like tank but im not sure if a 29 is big enough. mostly i just want some fish i have never kept before and are a little more on the rare side. im open to any ideas

If you've got sand, shells, and rocks, why don't you go for shell dwellers, a type of African cichlid.

They would seem to be quite a nice fish for your tank based on what I've read from the profile above. They may also be exactly the fish you may be looking for based on your description of what you would like. They would make a very active, very interesting species tank.

what about a nice community of lake malwaki cichlid... I dunno if the tank would be big enough though
