Upgrading Sorority

[mteague]

So,

I just bought a 29 gallon tank and would love to add some more fish, I was looking for some recommendations.

I'm definitely bumping up my 5 betta girls to hopefully 11. I also plan to have a nerite.

What are some cool fish that get along with a ( heavily planted) sorority?

Thanks

Very cool :)

I don't have a sorority, but I believe I've heard from people who do keep them that bottom feeders and small schooling fish work well.

Just wanted to Bump this up, as I'm going to be purchasing new fish within a couple of days. Any tips/ personal experiences?

Is your 29g cycled? I woudn't add too many fish at once because it will overwhelm your BB & cause problems. IMO, if you're going to have 11 female Bettas, I wouldn't really add to much more to the tank. I have a 46g currently housing 3 females, 2 CAE's & 1 mystery snail & I have 4 more females in QT that will be added in the next few weeks & to me that seemed like a lot but I tend to be overly cautious about overstocking. Also, are you going to be able to QT the new fish? I would suggest doing so you can make sure everyone is healthy before putting them all together.

I actually am a proponent of the plant cycle, so I'm heavily planting it and should be good to go( that's what I did for my girls in the other tank).
Basically the plan right now for fish
11 girls( I have 5 already)
1 nerite/trap door
and possibly 5-6 neon tetra.

From my research, I've found that the most successful sororities often have mentioned that they overstock slightly on their females.

I don't know, just looking for some more advice.

I'll definitely be able to QT the 6 new females.
