Question
i have a 29 gallon tank and im interested in exotic and bigger sized fish. what would you say would be good fish for my tank.

Answer
Hi Brett, sorry this took long. First the most popular of exotic fish are the Betta's. They come so in many different colors, and their tails come in different shapes as well. If you interested in Betta's don't buy them at a pet store, since they don't carry the most exotic type of Betta's. Buy them from a breeder, like this one at www.bettatalk.com. She is a good breeder and carries hundreds of different colors of betta's and different shapes. She also appeared on animal planet, so expect good things from her, when and if you order. You could also get a Cichlid. There are many types of Cichlids, and can get really big, trust me. Even though at the pet store they look small, they will grow big. Cichlids can also come in beautiful colors. You could also put angel fish in and even Catfish. There are many big fish and exotic fish out there. Just remember when you buy them, ask if they get big, because the ones that are usually at the pet store are small, but they will grow, if they get big, it just depends on the size of the tank. Good Luck.
