    Getting a large fish just to rid your tank of a pest is IMO irresponsible. Unless of course you have plans on keeping the fish. Hopefully you wouldn't even consider keeping either above mentioned fish in your 29 ;) I wouldn't go that route.
    You could tweeze them or cover them with a kalk paste. Might be a little time consuming but better for your tank in the long run. I'm sure there are other ways too. Let's do more research ;)

    hey, you are at the fish limit for a 29g and i'm not being a smarta_ _ here but maybe the fish are doing good because of those tube worms helping keep the water cleaner:)


    ps i ckecked out your tank it is very nice i wouldn't change it at all, very nice

    Guys name is biocube, so judging off that, i wouldnt recommend those fish for the sole purpose of ridding them in a tank that small...

    Agreed, but it would be nice to have a fish in the tank to keep the pests under control.

    They are super small... I'd love to make money off them.

    I know this an old thread, but I love feathers... I'd trade you some zoos for some of those dusters

    Where do you live? They are pretty small and honestly not very pretty.
