I would like to set up my 29G tank (30" L x 18" H x 12.5" D) with 4 yellow labs. I hope to get one male and three females, but I don't know if this will be possible if I buy the fish as juvies. There would be no other fish in the tank with the labs. I have an Aquaclear 50 power filter than provides 200 gph filtration as well as an Aquaclear 50 powerhead with a quick filter attachment modified to hold bio-media. My tap water has a pH of 7.8 and 127 ppm CaCO3.
I plan to set the tank up as a Tom Barr-style natural planted tank with many fast-growing hardy stem plants in flower pots to prevent uprooting. I would like a black substrate and am trying to decide between regular black fluorite or black fluorite sand. I plan to make caves by stacking layers of slate with other rocks in between and holding them together with silicone.
Would 4 yellow labs be a good stocking load for this tank? What would the bioload be like?
Would New Life Spectrum cichlid pellets or Hikari cichlid pellets be good food for them? How thick should the substrate be?
Thanks in advance.
