	20 gal stocking
bill the cat Small Fry Posts: 14 Kudos: 8 Votes: 2 Registered: 29-Jan-2005	Hey all. I currently have a very boring 20 long in my room, and I'm tired of having nothing interesting to watch in it. Right now all that's in there is my beloved Bolivian Ram. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thx

bill the cat Small Fry Posts: 14 Kudos: 8 Votes: 2 Registered: 29-Jan-2005	thanks everyone! Great suggestions. I'm looking forward to a trip to the fish store. I'm thinking of going with the 1 additional ram, 6 tetras of some sort, and 5 corys. Last edited by bill the cat at 20-Aug-2005 11:23

bill the cat Small Fry Posts: 14 Kudos: 8 Votes: 2 Registered: 29-Jan-2005	How would you all recommend adding these fish? I'm afraid that if I add a whole school of 6 tetras (septupleing the bioload) I might cause the tank to crash, but if I don't add the school in its entirety, the small group i'd normally feel comfortable adding (maybe three)would be stressed. Am I just being paranoid? Last edited by bill the cat at 20-Aug-2005 22:11

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	Six tetras produce about as much waste as one Bolivian Ram, so it should be fine to add all the tetras at once. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
