Alright so I am going to be changing over my 29G grow out tank into a show tank. I don't know what direction to go in. I keep mostly peacocks, a few fronts, some trophs, and a few vics... I am not sure what I really want to put in there though. I want something that can stay in there for the long haul, and am just looking for what you may be showing in a 29G, or have showed before... any thoughts welcomed of course...

so it is a 29 tall? it is kind of small for most adult cichlids. some shellies would be good in there. also have you considered a community / planted tank, with some shrimp?

It is a 29 tall, so I know that the fish I have now are not a good fit. I have been thinking about some shellies, but want to have some other mid depth fish as well. I hadn't done any thinking about a community tank, but I guess I should look into that as well. I just want it to be somewhat unique and something you don't necessary see every day, if that makes sense... Thx David!

well shellys will certainly fit that bill. they do only live on the bottom of the tank tho. i have seen some people mix in some top dewelling community fish with them.

I do all my Victorians in my 29Gal. Breed like rabbits and never had any problems. Vics are very colorful.

I haven't done the research, but guessing dwarf cichlids would not co-habitat well with shellies? What dwarf cichlids are plant friendly? I am guessing the last question has a large variety, but again I don't know them. I really may be leaning towards the vics as Kory mentioned...

Anyone else have a show 29G tall they love?
