I'm hoping to get some basic advice on stocking a planted 20gal, as I'm trying to plan ahead. I know there's no hard and set rules as to how many fish you can stock in a tank, since it depends on many factors, but even an estimate would help me a lot!
There will definitely be two African Dwarf Frogs, since I promised my girlfriend she could have two. Other than that, I plan on a mixture of Platies and Mollies. With that in mind, about how many would be ideal? I just don't want to overstock the tank. I was thinking three Mollies and three Platies. Would I be able to fit more?
I'm not sure exactly what filter I'm going to have yet, since I'm getting all of my stuff used and free from a friend's mom and I haven't picked it up yet. But if I need to I'd buy a bigger or better one.
Thanks for the advice!
