OP OP H Hkey_ New Member Joined Dec 26, 2011 Messages 42 Reaction score 0 Dec 26, 2011 #5 I'm thinking about a 10 - 20 gallon tank. Which would you recommend?

XeroTolerance If You Ain't Blasting, You Ain't Lasting! Joined Jul 8, 2011 Messages 1,312 Reaction score 0 Location US Dec 26, 2011 #12 Around 4-5 I think. It is good to have a variety of fish though but it depends on your personal preference.

OP OP H Hkey_ New Member Joined Dec 26, 2011 Messages 42 Reaction score 0 Dec 26, 2011 #13 Does that allow for a decoration, like the thing in the middle of your fish tank?

If you look at my tank in the sig I have a pretty big decoration in it. Thats why I only have 5 fish. I may end up getting one more though.
