	"pet" for a 20 long
djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003	What is the max size fish you can have in a 20 gallon long by itself? I think I heard somewhere that it is 6 inches but I wanted to be sure. Does anyone have any ideas on a large (if 6" is large) "wet pet" for my 20L? I was thinking datnoid, but I decided against that. It turns out they hit 2 feet, which is just a tad bit bigger than what I can hold. So.....shoot
