Tankmate suggestions please.
« on: April 07, 2015, 09:01:58 PM »
Are there any bottom feeders that any of you would recommend that I put in my 29 gal tank? Currently,  the only occupant is a roughly 9" Oscar of questionable character. Any and all suggestions,  ideas, and advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I wouldn't worry about any other fish, until I got a bigger tank.

"questionable character" = no tankmates in a tiny tank IMO

Too small of a tank for the oscar to begin with.

Thank you all for the input. I have decided to add two critters: 1 lawyer and 1 therapist.

My parents have always wanted to have an Oscar tank but have never had an aquarium larger than 55 gallons. After seeing your post I did some googling and ran across this site which I am sure you have seen previously. It has some suggestions for tank mates.

As a newbie I also found some of the other information on this site helpful in understanding some basic concepts.
