I dont have an empty 20 gallon, mine has fish, but if anyone had one what fish would you put in it.

Personally, I'd have a shoal of six cories, a school of seven or eight small tetras, and a dwarf gourami or two. I like to stick with small, peaceful fish, because I know I won't have compatibililty issues. Also, it is relaxing to watch schools of fish swim around.

Hmmmm....I'd either:

-upgrade my 10g Endler's breeding tank which also has otos and panda cories, or

-set up a shellie tank

There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Keep a larger shellie, like A. compressiceps Sumbu or L. boulangeri.

My twenty gallon (long) has female bettas, cories, black neons and ottos. If I had my choice, I wouldn't have the neons at all... thought they'd be a nice addition, but they're not as fun as the rest of the group.

If I had an empty 20 (plots upgrading her betta girls to a bigger tank...), I'd probably wind up putting in a gourami of some sort and then maybe keeping the black neons in there and adding a bunch more to their school of six. Ooo... or, wait... always wanted harlequin rasboras... those instead of the neons, maybe.

Lots of plants. Shrimp for bottom feeders? They're fun. Hmm... maybe a pair of fish somewhere between the size of the neons and the gourami (platties?) so the latter doesn't look like a giant in comparison. Dunno... could be an interesting tank, though.

~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

A 20 would be a good grow out tank for my kribs, I just need a place to put it
