I have a 30-gallon TALL tank that we cycled using pure ammonia. Now the water-test readings are looking good, and Iām ready to add fish. At the moment, five pretty good sized fish (grown up āfeedersā) from another tank are temporarily taking up residence to keep the bacteria colony healthy.
The tank has a pump powerful enough to service both the undergravel filter and a bubbler, so the tank is getting plenty of aeration.
Iād like suggestions about what kind of fish to stock the tall tank with. I know that angel fish are recommended for tall tanks, but Iām not particularly fond of that species. In the past, Iāve enjoyed both tetras (neon, etc.) and clown loaches. I was thinking of getting maybe a dozen tetras, since they are small and like to school. And maybe three or four loaches.
Beyond that, any suggestions? Iām assuming loaches are considered bottom-level fish. Are tetras middle-level? If so, what would be a good upper level fish to balance the tank out? Iād like to avoid aggressive fish.
Looking forward to your ideas!
