Haven't posted on here in quite some time!
I had my 75 gallon running for years. All of my fish have passed on now, and I am downsizing to a 20 gallon (long) tank because it will be easier for me to manage with my busy schedule. I'm not super interested in setting up a typical community tank. I had a community in the 75, and I'm wanting to try something different.
I forget my water params since it's been a while since I had fish and tested. But I do know that the water was neither very soft nor very hard, but leaning towards the hard side. I was able to soften it fairly well and consistently.
I have been considering a few things;
-Pea puffers
-Betta and cories or loaches
-A pair of some type of small cichlid
I plan on having live plants and heavily planting the tank, I'm aware they would need to be anchored if I have cichlids.
But, what would you do?
