Tank Remodel Idea

[nmcturner]

So i have had only 2 gouramis in my 29 gallon for a while now and want to spice things up.

I currently have beige sand but am going to replace that with black sand. I also have a black background.

My fish plan is to keep the 2 Opaline Gouramis and add:
20 neons
6 blind cave
and 6-8 upside down cats.

I also want to add a lot of plants. Not sure if I will go with real or artificial plants.

Any suggestions on stocking, etc.. would be appreciated.

thanks
Nick

How long has the tank been running and what are the water stats?



Looking at your list, that seems way too much IMO.

Six Upside-Down Cats alone will take up nearly half of your available 110cm length.



If you cut down on the Neons, to 10, you should be fine.

Hi nmcturner

I'm especially interested to see that you are going to get blind cave tetras. I've had a pair in one of my tanks for a number of years and find them to be very cool fish. You'll like them a lot!

Tank has been up for almost 3 years.

I think I would rather cut out the UD cats alltogether and stick with the 20 neons. I think that would look great with the all black theme.

would that work?

It will look pretty cool IMO, the choice is entirely up to you how you stock it.

I had some Blind Caves but had to give them away to my cousin, they are just mental!! They are always flying around the tank like there's no tomorrow and were just way to crazy for m liking.
