You have to have at least 2 ADFs!

Threadfin Rainbow fish... They do best in groups of 4 or more, but i have 2 and they are perfectly happy.

 

[Spader]

sorry for my ignorance, but whats an adf?

make sure you dont get the albino clawed frog tho, theyre fish eaters.

 

[Spader]

Sorry, but I couldn't resist adding the bold there...

 

[demonmagus]

yeah lol, you beat me to it

Schooling fish huh......harlequin rasboras....that's a definate for my future 10 gallon live planted. 12 would fit nicely in your 20 gallon.

 

[Spader]

but with 4 platies, 3 bettas, and 3 shrimp??

 

[dgwebster]

my ADFs have started chillin out together in the tank, hanging around in the same 5" square bit of tank. one moves they all move is rather funny, sort of schooling like/.


anyone mentioned threadfin rainbowfish?

 

[Spader]

how many can i get??

 

[dgwebster]

id personally say you could get 5-6 in there as long as you are good for maintaining a well stocked tank and have it well filtered. i take it by 3 female bettas these are of the peaceful betta variety when ive counted fishy inch.

 

[Spader]

yes, very peaceful that infact i kept 2 of them with my guppie fry with no casualties

OK some more ideas....

6-8 Harlequin Rasboras

6-8 Neon Tetras

6-8 Zebra Danios

1 Honey Gourami

That's all I can think of right now...
