Okay as you all know I am looking for ways to stock my tank. SO I did reasearch on the internet and found other people who have 20Hs.
And here are my results:

Tank 1
9 cardinal tetras, 10 harlequin rasboras, 3 glowlight tetras, 5 blue tetras, 1 bleeding heart tetra, 1 yoyo loach, 1 angel fish, 2 black neon tetras, 1 cory catfish


Tank 2
2 rams,5 neon tetras,5 glow light tetras,5 Harlequin rasboras and 5 corys

Tank 3
3 dwaft puffers, 1 bristlenose plec, 6 bumblebee gobies



What do you reccomend?
What should I put im my tank?
Advice/comments


edit: spell-check
 
I am in love with dwarf puffers, so that is what I would do. Them and whatever may would go with them. Also, I think a tank of Angels is absolutely stunning. I would do either of these, nicely planted with a dark sand substrate. That are just my dreams, though! Please post pix when you're done. :D
 
i think tank 4 would be really cool. Puffers rule and so do gobies and bristnoses. Tank one sounds a little overstocked and the cockatoos will destroy that tank once they get big enough.
 
I would go with tank 3, there are faults with all the others;
a. tank 1 is just too overstocked.
b. tank 2 has an angel fish which will most likely eat the other tetras as angel fish eat neon tetras for example in the wild and so keeping tetras with angels is a risky buisness and also the tank has to 20h high and not long as angels are rather "tall" fish- but with all the tetras the angel will make the tank overstocked by the time it is full grown anyways.
c. tank 4 has dwarf puffers which are like CAE's(chinese algae eaters) in personality in a sense- they may get along ok in a community setup when young but as they mature they will become more and more terotorial and will grow a tendancy to kill other fish etc. Also if i am not mistaken, bumblebee gobies are brakish fish(although don't quote me on that as i am not 100% certian on that) and so won't live long in a freshwater setup -_- .
 
wow, I have to say all but number 4 seem bad to me.

1. WAY to many cichlids! They would all fight over territory. plus all the bottem dwellers, I would say a 55 gallon or more would be needed for that combonation.
2 and 3 seem to have way to many tetras.

I would choose
1 cichlid pair you like
1 schooling fish you like
1 small algea eater

tada, thats it.
 
It seems like people don't understand if the tank set up is bad because its over stocked then change it by requesting any ideas. By the way there are fresh and brackish water bumble beeblee gobies. I also did not pick one of these tanks, they are other peoples, just ideas. I was thinking of 2 rams, 4guppies, and 6neons OR something like that. SO please request ideas.
 
"Tank 1
2 Keyholes, 2 Bolivian Rams, 2 Cockatoo FRY, 8 Corydoras Aeneus, 5 Pristilla Tetras, 5 Neons, 4 Harlquin Rasboras, 1 Peacock Goby"

a) this is my tank
b)in my profile if you read the bottom it says these fish will be moved
c)they are in a 40g
d)the keyholes stayed in the 25
e)the cockatoos were rehomed
f) i should've updated sorry
g)who gave you permision to use my tank?

:lol: that s good one DD.

Your new tank idea that you listed seems better.

2 rams, 4guppies, and 6 neons

great idea. you should do that one then.
 
Well if you want different suggestions, what kind of fish do you like?

Everone automaticaly based their suggestions on the 4 tanks you posted because everyone supposed that's what you wanted us to do. If you want different suggestions, you need to tell us what sort of fish you would like.

What were the 4 tanks for? Are those the sort of set-up you had in mind? If it is, the neons/guppies with a pair of rams was a good idea and would look great if you plant the tank heavily as well.
