| Well, last topic was deleted by possible accident. Well, need to set-up a 29. I'm trying to atleast keep my Male HRP. If pair is possible to include, will add. I have 2 Aqua-Tech 20-40's, a Fluval M100 heater, and have an Elite800 Aerator running. I have a little rock cave covering half tank, open space in right will be full of plants. Going for a cave surrounded by jungle look. Gonna have vall for sure to go in that look. Gonna even try duckweed. When I can get a test kit, I'll put up P.H. of water that is in now. Gonna aim for 7.0 in P.H. Ohh, I made this plan earlier using yhbae's AqAdvisor.  |

| From personal experience two adult HRP's likely wont work in a 28-29g tank. I tried several pair combos of the eight I kept and one was always up under the filter or getting chased.....Also I think just one HRP will harass the tetras. I have never kept the medium Cichlid tetra combo you have proposed but.... I think I would go with fish without much finage. The red eyes will likely be ok but the others have longer finage and are slower. _________________ "There he goes - one of God's own prototypes - a high powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production.

| This is all trial and error. Any problems, and the problems will be fixed. Plus, gonna get 2 10gs. One for qt and one for temp. removal of one HRP if it causes probs. I will try. Also, only once I've ever seen my female hiding from male and that was when they were kept in adequate condition.  |

| Good plan but your two probabally arent mature adults....Almost any fish can be kept in the same tank when juvi or small.... _________________ "There he goes - one of God's own prototypes - a high powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production.

| Got 6 Garnet Tetras, 6 Serpaes. They sold Cutteri yesterday to my dismay. Got some Red Luwidgia to grow. |
