Fish Crazy
Christmas Specials are all the rage at the moment, and my LFS has 29 gallon tanks w/ hood, lights, filter, heater and coupon books for $120. After gravel and decor, this is a about $150, and the fish I'd buy for Christmas... this would replace my 20 gallon cory and livebearer tank, which I'd put my snake into as he's in a 20 high tank and really needs a long one.
My first question is, is $150 fair for a new 29G tank setup? I've never bought setups before, they've all been given to me. It comes with a Tetra Whisper filter, which I know aren't top of the line, but I use one in my 10G and it gets the job done.
My second question is, since this is mostly going to be a cory tank, is sand still the popular thing to put in tanks these days? I remember hearing alot about how it's better for cories roughly a year ago when I joined this forum, but I don't know what the current trends are.
And third, of course, what else should I stick into it? ^^ I have 12 cories, and at least 9 of them are going in to this tank (3 are in with my betta in a 10G, and I might add 3 more to that, I'm not sure yet...). I have a few misc livebearers (3 swords and 2 somethings) which will probably go into the 20 gal my snake was in. So basically: What looks good with cories? I just want to hear some stocking opinions ^^
