    Default 20 Gallon Startup

    Hey guys,

    I have a 50 gallon freshwater tank going and its cycled. I now have an empty 20 gal that i would like to start with some cichlids. I know this isn't a big tank but I was thinking that I could manage by only stocking smaller fish. Could you folks please recommend a good, small fish that would be relatively interesting.

    Note: I am planning on fish less cycling the tank so it may be a few weeks before the aquarium even sees a fish. Thanks in advance.

    Brad

    Check out shellies/multies, they are a cool little fish.

    Also, I like kribensis for a 20gal...

    Ditto on the shellies, plus they are good parents. Start with 5 and watch the colony grow. They are slow growers though!
    11 tanks, 5.5g up to 125g(2). Mbuna, Haps, Peacocks, Tangs, wild caught to tank raised!
