Nut, You took the words right out of my mouth. I was going to recommend
Cories for the same reason.  In fact, this is pretty much my exact 29 gallon. I have a male and female DG, a couple of zebra danios, and 5 peppered cories. I just added some gold Pristella maxillaris as well and they look really beautiful against the green plants. I have them because I'm only down to two zebra danios. With a lot of zebra danios I wouldn't bother with the Pristella maxillaris. nut wrote: dave349 wrote: i'm looking for fish i could add in a couple weeks to the 2 dwarf gouramis and 5 zebra danios i have in my 29 gallon tank. any suggestions welcome please Danios like the top, Gouramis like the middle... so you could get some corydoras for the bottom... get a small schoal of them (5 or 6) and they'll do synchronised dancing in the evening which is great to watch. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

I will admit the tiger barbs were more questionable, but have kept them in many of my client aquariums over the years with gouramis, in fact in a personal aquarium, a gold gourami killed one of my green tiger barbs. Good luck! Carl
