Does anyone have a 20 gallon tank? What kind of fish do you have?

Question

and how many?

Answer 1

I have 6 colorful female bettas and 3 kuhli loaches in one 20 gallon.

In another I have a pumpkinseed sunfish juvinile.

In a third I have a swordtail and a rainbow shark, and soon to have a school of small minnows.

Answer 2

I've had 3 spotted puffers [brackish], 2 baby Figure-8's [brackish], and a turtle that i just upgraded into the 20 gallon tank.

I just got into planted aquariums, and so i made a scenery that looked as natural as possible. I got tiles that you can get at any do-it-yourself department stores, like home depot, or lowes, which cost me about $20, and used a hammer and a screwdriver to break them into pieces. I brought them home and washed them with warm/hot water, and wiped them dry. My intentions are to make a waterfall, using the filter as the main water source.

After breaking all the pieces, i bought 3 large tubes of Silicone which costs about $6 each, and glued them together. [I piled the long pieces together on the top, and 3 small perches to hold up the top piece. I recommend letting it sit for at least 2 days before adding water.

If you're into plants, i'm using plant gravel called Fluorite, there's also another brand by Coralife but so far, the brand Fluorite works just fine. I bought this at Petsmart for about $15.

After the rock and silicone has dried off, i placed them into the tank, then a bag of sand [$5] and mixed Fluorite in it. I then added water. I find that before you add the sand and Fluorite, rinsing them makes a huge difference in cloudyness of the water. Then add plants.

Run your filter for about a day, and then add fishes & a turtle if you'd like. Now, not only do the fishes have a huge place to swim, the turtle has an even bigger place to explore and sit above the water, all without taking away from the beauty of nature.

Enjoy your tank!

Answer 3

I have an 18 gallon extra high (same footprint as a 10 gallon but almost twice as tall) that I kept a red tail catfish and a tiger shovelnose catfish in until they were large enough to move into the 55 gallon. Now I mainly just use it as a quarantine tank for new fish.
