A bottom feeder that would be good for your 20 would be a Bushynose/Bristlenose Pleco (same fish two different names). I have one of them in my 20... a welcome tenant I'll let the others answer your centre piece question as I'm fairly new to FW aquariums, and wouldn't want to steer you down the wrong road. But your setup isn't overstocked just yet. [/font] Last edited by bala shark at 09-Feb-2005 13:04 Last edited by bala shark at 09-Feb-2005 13:06

I have a 20 long, with some cory catfish and neons, and for my centerpiece fish i have dwarf fire gourami, very pretty fish and fun to watch, mine likes to swim in the bubbles, over and over again! Funny to watch!. Just an idea, im sure others will even more for ya! Sam And welcome to FP...! Last edited by sxp8397 at 09-Feb-2005 13:30 Last edited by sxp8397 at 09-Feb-2005 13:39

It can be done, but you could not slack on water changes at all. BNs are poop machines. I would go with some otos, they are great at cleaning algea. For a center piece, A blue or gold gouramie would be very nice. Welcome to FP.
