Almost every shellie species can thrive in a 20 long, so you've got lots of lovely options. Do you like color? Aggressiveness? Family lifestyles? Shy fish? Outgoing fish? Active fish? Calm fish? Fish with unusual shapes? Fish with unusual behaviors? -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!

The best plan is to start with six juveniles; they'll grow up and kick out the spares, which you can remove and return to the LFS. You'll be left with a pair or trio, most likely, which will happily spawn and fill the tank with fry.
