hey guys, new here to the forum! I just recently purchase a 20 gal tank. In the process of cycling the tank. Im not sure of the fishes names because im currently living in japan at the moment and all the fishes names were in japanese.:(.. the guy at the pet store said they were good fish for starter tanks. soo got me 5 little blue fishes and two sucker fishes. Im not too sure about getting the two suckers hope they will make it thru the cycling process.. anyways nice to meet fellow AC:):hmm3grin2orange:

Welcome to the forum! I agree with fisher, read the ebook for a great head start! :22:

just finished reading the ebook, there is alot of useful informations! Anyways I compared the sucker with what i found online and its the Starry Night Pleco. I have a 20 gal tank most site says minium tank side need for them are 30gal. will i be alright for awhile?

It is hard to keep a pleco in a tank that has not been well established.
They need algae in the tank.You can grow some algae in a jar of water with some roundriver rocks and place it in a sunny window.Just feed a stone until its clean and replace it with another.
Keep a close eye on your perameters and do your water changes.
Don't forget their cucumbers and lettuce!

i bought a certain type of food for it recommended by the LFS.. hopefully that will keep that straight for awhile until algae do grow.. also do i just cut up cucumber and lettus and just drop it in the tank?
