Is this too much?

I have a 29 gallon standard aquarium.
Im planning on adding plants and fish. So far I have 5 black skirts and a java fern. I also want to get Hornwort and maybe some other plants.
Im also wanting to get some neons 8?
A red tail shark
2 Severums
2 corys or maybe one Cory and a Raphael cat

you should be fine for a little while as long as you have good filtration

Im running a whisper 30/60...

it should be enough with the plant in there
i run a emperor 400 on my 29 gallons

A better filter my help but sounds good to me so far.

Severums need a larger tank, but everything else should be good

gonna get atleast 2 more plants also..

hopefully when they are bigger i will have my 55 back running

take out the red tail shark and severums.

what would be nice lookin alternates? I would like some non schooling fish also

A female betta? Can be nippy...

Maybe some rams, if you're looking for cichlids? Stay small, non-aggressive for the most part, gorgeous colors. A little on the sensitive side but no more so than the neons. I was going to say kribs, but I'd be afraid to put them with neons. If they decided to breed they could terrorize your neons in a 30 inch long tank. I've always seen them want quite a bit of territory at that point. The rams I've seen raising babies, on the other hand, haven't seemed to be as easily riled by a long shot. I haven't personally kept kribs yet, though, so I could be wrong. Rams I have with no problems. A rapheal will make quick work of your neons. I'd go for at least three cories(julii's are pretty and stay small) and a queen burmese loach(super interesting even kept singly and very nice patterning). The loach will also make short work of any snails that hitchhike in. Really a yo-yo loach would do even better but aren't quite as pretty although they are still cute.

If you can't fit 3-6 corys leave them out, they are a very very social fish.

I think it sounds good to me too.. good luck!

Thanks JL. I have had Kribs in the past and could keep nothing with them except buenos aires tetras...they were too big and too fast for the kribs..that was in 10 gallons also so in 30 maybe they would be ok. The rams are something Id considered and will look into the loach also. Thanks a bunch!

never thought about cory's bein social.. i think I can do 3 in there

dont get any balloon belly rams tho. get the bolivian or just rams as i found out the balloon body rams just dont do good period. it might be the travel back home but they died 2 days after i got them. my water read perfect. so i would not get any of those. the regular rams r gorgeous, bolivians r really pretty but dont hav color wen their young.

u can even do kuhli loaches, i luv mine their awefully cute

Ive doen the rams before..been a few years..they were fun and very colorful..never tried kuhli loaches before

Corys are very social, the bigger the group the happier they are.

thanks for that Fern.

kuhlis stay small so there very cute a little worm lik fishies but hav huge personality. mine r pretty dog piling each other and my black one has become attached to my clown knife lol.

added 2 peppered catfish and a bronze cory as well as a banana plant

very nice!!! hope u hav a good time with them bc mine likes to sleep on top of my fire eel lol

hahaha...mine were goin wild last night...all over the place..think I may still add one more..kinda want a panda also. Local pet store had 1 bolivian ram..if they would have had 2 now they would have none
