The Congo Tetra's get quite big & would fill the tank. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

Upside down Cats are too big for a 20g.. I would go with something like Aeneus Catfish. [link=Click here for further information]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/bronzecat.xm But I agree that Congo's and Upside Down cats are too big for a 20gl. "it's the neck, it creaks under the weight of too much heavy thinking." |
