Hello, this is my first post here.
I recently just set up a 29 gal planted tank and im trying to figure out what to put in it. The tank will eventually have a carpet of dwarf hairgrass and java moss "trees" with driftwood. Its only been set up for a few days now so it is not cycled yet, but im just pitching for ideas now so I can start keeping an eye out on what to look for.
I would very much like to go with semi-aggressive fish. The ones that I am most interested in are:
Angels
Gouramis
Raphael Catfish (or any other catfish you recommend!)
Glass (Ghost) Catfish
Kuhli Loach, Clown Loach, Dojo, any kind of loach etc (again, recommend me!)
Various shrimps (what do you recommend?)
Electric Blue Ram Cichlid and Angel Rams
Betta
Leaf Fish
Any kind of shark (redtail, rainbow, roseline, etc)
Panda cory cats
Silver Dollars
This is just what I want to try to pick from, but I would not object to other ideas as well. Im trying to stay away from "easy" peaceful fish like mollies and platys, Id like to try my hand at something new.
I am particularly interested in the ram cichlids as well as the cats and angels.
Any other tips as far as setting up a semi aggressive planted tank would be appreciated as well!:grin2:
EDIT: added more fish im interested in adding.
