Getting a 29-gallon fish tank. Suggestions?

My dad said we might get a 29 gallon fish tank in the living room, yay! It will be a freshwater tank. What are some good fish I could keep in there? By the way, I have my own 10 gallon tank in my bedroom with a few guppies, dwarf platies, and ghost shrimp, so maybe something a little different than this? I also have a betta tank in my room too.

So the bottom line is this: What are some fairly interesting and not-that-hard to keep fish that will live well in a 29 gallon tank?

what is the best thing to do for a beginner fish owner?

hey everybody. just got a 10 gallon fish tank a couple weeks ago. i have 5 different types of community fishes. 2 shrimps and 1 bottom feeder. i’m sorry i don’t know their scientific names. anyway i have a heater, and a whisper filter. i clean the tank almost every week which is a pain in the ass because i’m a working student. i wanted to know what else i can do to keep them cleaner. i’ve fed them less than i did at first. i totally clean the whole tank. i took out most of my granite just coz it’s so hard to clean them as well. i have a real shrimp bamboo, 1 fake short plant and 2 coliseum ruins as decor. they’re real tiny though. i’m thinking of getting one of those auto feeders coz i’ll be on leave for more than a week. i’m not sure which is best. can you guys advice what else can i do? and what else my tank needs? thanks so much!

New 10 Gallon Fish Tank (shrimp, frogs, or what?)?

Hello everyone, I’m getting ready to start up a new ten gallon freshwater fish tank this summer. I’m not new to fish and I already have a 30 gallon freshwater thats been running for a few years.

I have an empty 10 gallon and I was wondering what I should put in it. I was thinking one of these things:
- Inverts (Shrimp, snails, ??)
- Dwarf Frogs
- Crayfish

or maybe something completely different.

So what should I do? Looking for some god ideas or some info on the ones I came up with!

Will these saltwater fish be compatible?

I currently recieved an empty 30 gallon fish tank and im planning on making it a saltwater.
(I already have a 30 gallon freshwater tetra & rasbora tank, which is under great care and is a very successful tank.)
But ive been researching the fish to be put into the saltwater, and i was thinking about stocking it with
a benggai cardinalfish
a percula clownfish
a royal gramma
possibly a green chromis
and one day a blue mandarin.

then im going to get a few skunk cleaner shrimp,
but i want to know if the fish are all compatible before i even get started.
I want to be well prepared :)
Thanks!

How many saltwater 3-inch fish can you keep in a 30 gallon?

Im getting a 30 gallon fish tank tomorrow from a friend of mine.. Ive already got a 30 gallon freshwater tetra tank that i take care of very well and im pretty experienced in the freshwater area.. but ive been thinking about starting a saltwater tank. But before i get it started ive been researching it alot and i would like to know how many approx. 3inch fish will fit in a 30 gallon.

Ive been thinking about getting some kind of clown fish (percula maybe), a Benggai Cardinalfish, a royal gramma, a yellow assessor, and a blue assessor. And a decorator crab and/or a peppermint shrimp.
Well those are my selections, but i doubt i will be able to have all of them in one tank.
Maybe eventually get into corals once i learn how..
What do you think? Thanks.
