You're so soothing to listen to. I'm just getting back into fish keeping after many many years and I'm looking to expand my limited knowledge. This helped a lot!
Thank you so much! Appreciate you being here.
Fantastic! So much info! Now let's try a 55 gal with as much color and movement thru the water column that's not all guppies.
Agreed. And he knows his stuff. I find myself seeking out his informational videos over Google. He speaks pleasantly, knowledgeably and he does it in a way that keeps your attention and offers alternatives and other cool factoids.
Great info and appreciated. In my 29 gallon I have 2 adult angels, 6 cardinal tetras, 6 rummy nose tetras, 2 rams, Bristol nose pleco and 3 corys. It's been 2 years and I love the look and everyone looks happy and healthy :):)
Love that tank, you'd never get bored watching them !
Jason, thank you so much for this amazing channel. I had several aquariums over the years when I was younger and am just getting back into the hobby. This channel has helped me catch up with what's new and some info that I never learned in my previous experiences.
So awesome to hear! Thanks for watching!
This is how I’m currently setting up my 29:
-Black Water
Top: Marble Hatchets
Middle: Black neons
Bottom: Either Panda or Two Saddle Cories
Clean up: Bristlenose Pleco, ghost shrimp, ramshorn, mystery, and assassin snails
Centerpiece: Bolivian Ram
how many of each do you have
@@larryhightower2034 I had like 7-10 hatchets, 13 black neons, 4 horsemans corys, my bristlenose swam up the filter and died so I got a dozen carbon rili shrimp, then I had 5 fat pink mystery snails and a handful of pink ramshorns, 1 bolivian and a pair of dwarf gouramis but Im going into the army so I gave the tank to a buddy
I want some black neons
Would Black neons, Bristle nose pleco, and Bolivian ram work?
@@danielislam9144 worked for me
Corydora catfish really are awesome fish.... they are "bottom dwellers" but they play all around and they sleep in nice cuddle piles... mine do this thing where they will swim into the current from the filter and then tip backwards to "surf" it back and then repeat... like you can TeLL that they are enjoying life and playing. You will never regret any tank space given to accommodate corydoras I only have 3 in my 20 gallon high with some tetras and shrimp... I want to go up to 5 but I haven't been able to find more panda catfish local.... and if I had a 20 long i would've not even included tetras and just done like panda corydoras with pygmy corydora and some shrimp with a floating hornwort to let the shrimp get out of the bottom commotion
I agree about the Corys - they're like little puppies sometimes just piled on one another.
I just love Cory's,busy little characters....I've kept a pearl gourami as my "centerpiece" fish in a 29 with no problems....mixed in with glowlifht tetras and bronze Cory's.
Great video! Looking to add some color and interesting fish to my 29 gallon tank. This is a huge help and I appreciate it!
Enjoying this series. Looking forward to seeing your stocking ideas for a 55gallon tank.
You mean like this one? : -) czcams.com/video/7H8VFi6osKo/video.html
Wow, this was some great information. I wish I would have seen this video years ago when I first started.
I’m glad you mentioned the Mollies being difficult to keep. IMO, they are probably one of most difficult livebearers to keep because some can be semi-aggressive and fairly large. Cory from Aquarium Co Op, also mentions that some are raised in brackish water overseas and have difficulty adjusting to water in the US. Because of this, if you’re going to get a Molly, I’d say try to find a local breeder.
always useful! love the 29's footprint.
Thank you!
Great info, this is what I was researching.
Nice! Just bought a 30 gallon, thanks for the thoughts!
Very cool! Hope you enjoy it!
Love these stocking tanks videos very informative
Thanks Lori!
Probably my favorite aquarium CZcams channel! Thanks for always getting straight to the point and staying informative!
Thanks for being here!
Prime Time Aquatics keep the content coming! This stayathome law thats been put place by my state governors, given me more time than ever lol
Once again....awsome video and great information! I love your videos, informative and very well put together. I appreciate your hard work, thank you☺
Appreciate you watching!
Great information. Just upgraded to a 32 Gal tank ✌🏽
OMG your guppy tank is to die for!!!!
I am getting a 29 gallon soon and I know FOR SURE I am getting a guppy community. I know they are known to be playful and a bit nippy, would you recommend Cory's? Or snails? I would love to have some gold snails if I can get away with it. :)
Great suggestions!
Nice information on small fishes I would love to have these fishes in my tank , like hatchet
Thank you!
Superb ideas, lots of really cool fish especially the shell dwellers 🤓
Thanks Mark!
Lots of awesome ideas!!
Maybe it was just a fluke but when I had black neon tetras they also turned out to be effective duckweed control.
That's so cool! Who knew? : -)
Great video! Peacock Gudgeon is a beautiful fish for community tank set up as well
They sure are!
Great suggestions
Thanks!
beginner thank you. Enjoyed your video very much.
Thank you for this video
I have one bristlenose pleco and that is more than enough for my 150 gallon. I would suggest keeping lights on for at least 8 hours a day in a 29 gallon in order to grow enough algae for one to eat (or supplement with wafers).
great videos you are this first videos i go to well done guys
Awesome video
For what it’s worth, I’ve had really good luck breeding red cherries with neon tetras and a honey gurami centerpiece fish. It is pretty heavily planted though.
This!
This! is what I'm going for
Wish me luck 🤞
Thanks great video
I keep a pair of Red Breast Acara in my 29. They are super peaceful and do not bother any of the others in the tank. On the note of swordtails, I had a beautiful calico/koi male swordtail and he was a total jerk bothering everyone, so I agree the males can be very aggressive.
Great content, wonderfully presented. I really appreciate how much you advocate for the welfare of the fish. New subscriber!
Thank you for being here!
2:04 thought it was a fancy goldfish at first ha ha 😂😂
still newish to the hobby just a few months in and all these videos have made me such a better fish keep in terms of the care for my fish and how nice my tanks are decorated and planted, im in the process of setting up my fathers day community tank with powder blue gourami centrepeice and i have everything figures out except for the schooling fish, too many tetras and platys and danios to choose from
Glad you are here!
I now have 21 neon tetras in my 29 and there doing great for about 5 months
Great vid! I was debating between platys and mollies, so this helped me decide on Green Lanterns! 😁 Will you be doing a 20 long vid? Keep up the great work! 🐠
I did one on 20 gallons in general that fit a 20L. Plus, I think most of these fish are perfectly fine for a 20L as well.
i realize this is an older comment, but mollies tend to be way more sensitive to water parameters. i believe they're actually meant for brackish water so they aren't really living their best lives in freshwater aquariums. if you simply just prefer mollies and have to have mollies, that's one thing, but if you're back and forth on either platys or mollies, always go platys imo. they are better in every way.
Love this video!! Good info. 😊😊😊
Thanks Sharron!
Just set up my first planted 29 gallon tank. These stocking suggestions will def help. Debating on a dwarf gourami or Ram for my main fish, but probably leaning Ram right now.
What did you decide ??!! I really wanna know I just got a 29 gallon as well
Great video I have a new tank and shall stock neon and black neon.Thank you sir.
I have a small group of mbuna in my 29g and they’ve been fine for a few years. They are breeding as well with no issues and not a single death
lucky!
@@katerinamafiosa you can have my mbuna they’re bullies lol. In a 40 breeder. They bully everybody but my jewel cichlids and peacock. They hate my electric blue acara and rams. (These fish are all 2 inches or less currently or they’d be in a bigger tank, tank is still over filtered and planted/decored very well)
Just found your channel! Love all the information. I'm new to fish ans this channel has helped alot 🐟
Thank you!
Getting a 30 gallon tomorrow. Comes with everything for $60. A deal that was too hard to pass. But it is fully stocked with 30-50 platies. But I still like to keep an open mind in case I want to stock it with completely different fish.
Nice video...........great suggestions!!
Thank you!
Great great information
Thanks : -)
I really love my Emporer tetras!
I love them too! Had a pair in my 150.
I would love to see a 30 long video next; I am curious as to what a three foot long tank opens up for options
selbelis 29 gallons is almost 30 though. I would imagine it’s the same types of fish as in the video.
Another great video mate lol had me worried for a bit i was like Jason the shell dwellers lol
Can't leave them out!
My 29 gallon for almost a year now:
4 adult angels
3 Bolivian rams
One rainbow shark
3 pictus cats
11 Cory cats
1 bristlenose
10 scissortails
10 neons
Sounds overcrowded but the key to success here is a lot of filtration and literally planted like a jungle. Makes for a fabulous tank.
Yup, the key to an overcrowded tank is always filtration and lots of water changes
Nice ideas & thanks for sharing. I never thought of keeping hatchetfish before 🤔.
I used to have them all the time when I was a kid. NOt quite as easy to find anymore.
I have 7 rummy nose tetras, 6 neons, 4 zebra danios, 6 kuhli loaches, some ghost shrimp, 1 clown pleco, 2 assassin snails and lots of blabber snails. It is a heavily planted tank with driftwood. I’m running a hang on back filter as well as a sponge filter. I have a bubble wall that seems to have improved their overall mood. I even have 3 feeder guppies who just ended up in the shrimp bag. I let them stay too. It sounds overcrowded but the tank operates in shifts. My night shift cleaning crew is the hidden part.
My husband and I just received a 29 gallon tank that we were not expecting. We ordered dog and cat food from PetSmart to be delivered by Door Dash. Instead, we got a 29 gallon fish tank with all of the accessories to get started. It was obviously somebody else's order, so we called PetSmart and they don't want it back. So, I guess we have a fish tank now! I haven't had one since I was a kid. This video was a great refresher! We are in the middle of purchasing a new home, so we are saving it for the new house. It will look great in my new office! Just have to keep our naughty cats away from it.
Have fun!
Did the cats get fishing rods from Santa ?🤣🤣
A really happy betta fish
Love Cory Cats. Truly a beginner fish! When I first started keeping fish I thought they just came in the "peppered" variety.... Lord was I wrong! I love the Julii Cory's or the Panda Cory's. Absolutely love watching them torpedo to the top and back down.
I agree - there are so many cool types!
Nice
Nice video
Thank you!
I'm new to the hobby and started with 4 guppys and 4 platys in a 10 gallon. I underestimated how quickly guppys breed and now have 16 guppys and 4 platys. So I bought a used 30 gallon last night and I can't wait to start a whole new system in my 10 gallon as well as adding a new species to the 30 with the guppys. I'm thinking a pleco species (always liked how cool clown plecos look). I'm thinking cory cats and a type of gourami for the 10 gallon but we'll see!
If you haven't already stocked your 10g, and are still leaning toward cories and gourami, I would really suggest one of the smaller cories, such as pygmies, so you can have a larger group, and a sunset honey gourami, which generally have a pretty gentle demeanour, and are on on the smaller side, but still give you that great pop of colour.
I’ve always seen mystery snails as less than impressive cleaners, nerites do amazingly well though
In fact this morning I just placed two juvenile olive nerite snails in my 29gallon planted tank, (not too bad in algae, mostly on the glass) and you can already see their trails everywhere eating the algae away, my mystery snail has been in that tank for months with no visible difference
Definitely agree with this but my nerite lays little white eggs all over the glass
@@ansnfbsknanssshshbsnsndnd5438 I ageee with this. I have found that mystery snails generally need to be fed with veggies or crab pellets because most small aquariums don't have enough food to keep adults alive if there are a couple in there.
Male Nerites are better than mystery snails imo but the eggs the females lay aren't worth the effort to get off. Because now you're just replacing algae with eggs which is arguably worse
@@jamesridge3500 I been lucky I have three Nerite snails and never had any white eggs that I hear people complain about.
I put a pair of lelupi 6 princella tetras 2 checker board barbs an a bristle nose pleco. Moderately planted and this is one of my favorite tanks that I set up. The lelupi just had babies so my 55 gal has some free fish coming soon.
Up date... Leleupis had babies. Dad tried to kill mom. So it's just mom an 4 juveniles in the 29. Dad ended up in my 55 with a couple parrot fish.
I have 5 pea puffers in my 29 gallon along with one pleco. The tank has plants, wood, and rocks, so they have plenty of areas to claim as theirs. A year in and they are all doing well.
That's so cool! We have a pair in a 5.5 gallon that are always swimming together. : -)
@@PrimeTimeAquatics I didn't realise they could go in something that small!
nice aquariums bro ( :
Thank you!
I was just watching this video for a second time. Regarding the comments on the tiger barbs and their tendency toward fin nipping and aggression, I'm a big advocate of snake skin barbs AKA Rohombo barbs instead. They have that same stunning black/orange stripe with an added green iridescence but in my experience they have absolutely none of the aggression of tiger barbs and they show no inclination toward fin nipping despite being kept with long finned tank mates, at least in my home. Snakeskin barbs are harder to find, but they are a great alternative to tiger barbs with a similar appearance, and mine have proven to be very hardy in terms of varying water parameters. (Also, as an aside, mine readily go for the Northfin community pellets, though it takes them a little while to adjust to new foods, whatever the brand.) I still see web sites that unfairly list the snake skin barb as "semi aggressive" and I can't help but wonder if this is simply because the tiger barb looms so large over the entire barb family.
I like those barbs!
“Mollies are aggressive” AGREED!! I have had more problems with Mollies then with bettas in community tanks
I could totally see that!
Prime Time Aquatics I had a male Molly that kept attacking all of my neon tetras, another one just killed every single shrimp in my tank, and yet another that wouldn’t stop trying to forcibly mate with all of my guppies! I think it’s safe to say that I’ll stick with my teacup platies from now on :)
You should do 40 Breeder, there arent many videos on stocking 40Bs! Stating another one soon and looking for inspiration!
I've thought about it, but the stocking options for the 29 gallon and the 55 gallon cover so much for the 40B. :-)
Hi, absoutely love your videos so thanks for sharing! I am trying to set up a 60 US gallon tall with some really impressive shoals of small tetra. Could you recommend any pairs or singles of an impressive south American cichlid that would be safe and calm with them? Thanks!
Apistos, rams, curviceps, keyhole cichlids, guianacara, nannacara are all good options!
My 29 has 2 Hemichromis sp. Moanda (two males who get along well enough but one is definitely more dominant), a couple upside down cats and a bristlenose.
Just realized I posted these comments from our dead vlog channel. Lol
That's too funny. : -)
Your stocking options are super!!
Im planning to do a 125 with smaller community fish like harlequin rasboras, black neons and much more..you are giving me more and more options😁👍
Right now i can't cuz ill be moving to Canada in less than a month ( i have no tanks right now😣)
Also, are peacock gudgeons on the peaceful side or not?🤔
I think they could work well with this mix too!
I have 9 Cory catfish, all different breeds, they run as a pack with no problems 🙌🔥
By the way, I love the channel!!! You guys are awesome and you get in depth on things that usually no one else brings up! Keep it up I subscribed! 😈🔥
You might add ideas on "cold water" or room temperature fish..... white clouds....
Love my basic white clouds!
Great video! I've been trying to figure out what fish is the thumbnail for the video?
Those are Rams I saw at Aquashella Dallas.
Prime Time!
Hi, very nice and informative videos thanks. I also got a 35 gallon tank with fancy guppies. I got 6 right now. How many can i put in there and any ideas what center piece fish i can put in there? Thanks..
If you have six guppies it might be kind of cool to let them breed? They can fill out a tank within a few months if allowed to do so. If not, you could easily have 12-15 in that size tank. Centerpiece fish with guppies? If your water is on the harder side that might be a little more difficult, but maybe a pearl gourami or honey gouramis? Keep in mind any centerpiece fish will probably eat guppy fry. You could even try a nicer pleco that stays under 6"? They would be fry safe.
Prime Time Aquatics thank you the advice!!
Great video. I’m a beginner getting ready to stock my 29 gallon. Curious as to how many of the breeds suggested can be put in the tank as well. For example could I put in: 6 Cory cats, 1 bristle nose pleco, 12 neon tetras, some nerite snails and 1 honey gurami? Or is that too many. Is there a rule of thumb for this?
I think that is a good mix. If you don't have any cycled filter media, maybe get some Fritzyme 7 and add just a few fish at first. That will help avoid ammonia issues at the start.
Great video . the first apisto I've seen was in your video .i was wondering can I get 1 male and put it with my female betta tank in 20 long with 5 black neon and white clouds and it's heavily planted
Possibly. I have had that combo work before, but sometimes it doesn't work too.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics thanks sir
can ya do also stocking options for a 15 gal
I have a 29 gallon half cylinder aquarium. I was gonna make a plant wall on the back and maybe keep the foreground pretty open. Or make a focal point in the center for some cool schooling. Which do you think would turn out better? And which fish do you think would make a completely peaceful tank.
Both would look nice. Just depends on what you want. :-)
@@PrimeTimeAquatics I was thinking honey gouramis, khuli loaches, corydoras, and platys maybe some rummy-nose. With a planted wall back and a bunch of natural hiding holes on the bottom of various sizes. With a sand runner right up front against the glass. Maybe make it look like a trees roots grew over the rock wall on back.
Hi. Thank you for this really useful video. I am just setting up a 160l (35gallon) aquarium and am new to keeping fish. We will soon start purchasing our first members to build a community. Can we get several of the groups at the same time and introduce them to aquarium together? Or should we get one type of fish and wait about a month before introducing the next group? If so, which groups can be introduced together or which are best to introduce first and which later on?
It’s usually best to add fish slowly so that there are no ammonia issues.
Thank you for your video, it's very interesting. I started my 29 Tall tank with lot of plant last month and my plan is to put 6 otocinclus, after that, 10 rummy nose, 8 hatchet fish and finish with two dwarf cichlidé.
Will my tank be overpopulated ? I Searched a lot to find top middle and buttom fish who will go well together 😁
I think that will work!
@@PrimeTimeAquatics Thank you :)
@@oliviergranger-fafard7147 f
I had a dozen tiger barns in a 29 for about 7 months, but all they did was hide in the corner as soon as I put the light on. I gave them to my LFS.
Great job!! 👏
What tank sizes can One person carry and get home?? Up to a 40 gallon?? 33??
Maybe a 40 breeder but they are a little cumbersome. I’ve gotten 55s into place by myself with no issues.
Thank you for answering me . Where would you buy fish online or locally . I ask this because possibly buying schooling fish . I would like to buy fish that I could add to seeing that I have a 150 gallon tank . Suggestions ? Probably ending up with dwarf cichlids or larger cichlids .
Online you could look at The Wet Spot?
Hi, I was wondering your thoughts on having a community of Panda Cory, green neons, Odessa barbs and forktail rainbowfish for the top. Trying to decide on some good variety of colors and shapes that are peaceful for a new 29 gal tank. Thanks for your videos!
The Odessa might be a little assertive compared to the others? You could look at cherry barbs?
@@PrimeTimeAquatics thanks! Was looking at those too. Sounds like that’d be a better way to go with less aggression. All the best!
Omg, what's that tiny little one @ 6:30-6:45?! It's lower left of the screen next to the yellow guppy. He's so cute! Scissor tail & big black line from mouth to belly...
That is an endler of some kind?
I have a 60 gallon with 3 corys and 2 bristlenose....I been wanting to venture into the cichlid realm in which the blue acara has caught my eye but everything I have been watching and reading has me worrying about my bottom guys that I have had for years... can you make some suggestions...thank you and great channel
Thank you!
Hi! I have a stocking question as someone very new to the hobby. I have a 29 gal tank, and in it I have a glo tetra and also a boesemani rainbowfish. I did not realize they were schooling fish. I feel bad that they are alone. I am not sure if my tank can accommodate the numbers needed to school them and was hoping for your input. Besides the two of them, I have two female bettas and a juvenile angelfish, a red tailed shark and three mystery snails. How many fish do you think I could support in my 29 gal tank? Could I get enough to provide a school for my two schooling fish?
Great question. I think you are right about the rainbow - they get too big for a 29 gallon. If you want to school something I would stay with the tetras. The red tail shark may cause you some issues as it grows - they usually get extremely aggressive. I would try to get to 6-8 tetras. Good luck!
What about neón rainbowfish? (megalotenia precox) in 29 gallon with tetras?
If I put 10 neon tetras in a 29g tank, what else could I add? I love colorful fish but am not sure what would go well with neon tetras that is also brightly colored. I've never kept anything larger than a 10 gallon so I've always had limited options until now. Any advice is greatly appreciated :)
If it helps, I had dwarf gouramis vivid orang n blue, beautiful fish, in with my neon tetras.gouramis come in many variations,dwarf,honey etc, they are labyrinth fish,they can breathe out of water,but I don't suggest you try it,they also can shoot water from their mouth ! I feed hikari gold tropical food, the best.
I was really planning on doing like 8 Tiger Barbs in my 29 gallon
You could try it, but every time I have done that they just kill one another off over time (especially when they get to that 2" mark).
I'm taking your advice! I'll try something else
Ina 29? Toss in like 12-14 or odessa barbs i have 6 in a 15 and they are great 0 scrapping dont bug any other fish
i have a blue and gold gourami in my 29g with a cory catfish. any other ideas for 4-8 inch fish
That could get difficult. In my experience the blue and gold gouramis usually get aggressive as they grow. They often chase fish that are around their size. I'm actually surprised they are tolerating one another!
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I recently had to combine my 10 and 20 gallon stocks in one 29 gallon tank.
I have 5 red phantom tetras, 3 corys, one dwarf gourami, one juvenile angelfish, two male guppies, and one male German blue ram (female partner died). I was planning to replace the female ram u til I watched this video.
Does my stock sound ok?
Please let know if you have any advice!
I love your videos
I think you will probably just have to keep an eye on the dynamic between the angelfish, ram and gourami. If they leave each other alone - great! They often do, but sometimes they don't. Good luck!
Andrea Kuenster i say let him stay alone ):
What kind of fish is shown after the tigerbarb? Beutiful 🥰
I wish I had labeled it when I did that store tour!
Hello prime time aquatics. I have a question is it OK to keep the kribensis and yellow lab cichlid together?
It might be possible in a larger tank (75 gallons or larger), but you always run the risk of the lab bullying the kribs.
I set up a 29g with a sand bottom and some mopani wood; heavily planted with anubius, java fern, bolbitis, tiger lotus, and java moss. It was supposed to be for dwarf puffers, until I saw a suvatti puffer. Now people look at it and tell me how good it looks. Then they ask me when I'm going to put fish in it. He's usually looking right at them!
Too funny!
@@PrimeTimeAquatics I did finally get those dwarf puffers, though! There's 9 fat little murder beans coming out of qt tonight after a much needed deworming to heavily scaped and planted 35g hex. Any excuse for a new tank. Trying to decide if I really need that t.v. I never watch...
Ok, that was hilarious! : -)
@@PrimeTimeAquatics BTW, thank you for the videos. I've been keeping fish for almost 30 yrs and one of my favorite things about this hobby is that we'll never know it all. Your video on multies has caused me to pick up another 20g long. And I thought I'd grown out of cichlids. My next tank was going to be one I've never done. A cave biotope for blind cave tetras. Guess I'll just have to get another tank....
I think it’s important for anyone new to the hobby to consider male to female ratio of each species. If you do a good job of making a nice home they will breed. Or the opposite too many males might be more aggressive to fight for hierarchy.
Hey what can i put with Tiger barbs in a 29 gallon? i have 8 of them rn they school really well eat well and everything
A gourami, any small South/Central American cichlids would work.
👍👍👌👌😍😍
Have a 29gal with 6 cardinal tetra. I want with ram or apisto. Probably rams because eaiser to get here. What other cool fish can i add? Its planted and filtering 200gph
Those are both good choices. I really like having big groups of a couple different tetras in a 29 (with the ram or apisto).
Hey! Love you videos. I was just wondering, you mentioned having a dwarf gourami as a centrepiece fish. Is it ok to only have one? I read that sometimes they are shy and like to be in pairs. If so, is two of them ok in a thirty gallon with some corys, platies and tetras? Thank you
I like keep them separately - adding multiples often introduces problems.
