devon7 Big Fish Posts: 475 Kudos: 356 Votes: 4 Registered: 31-Aug-2004	what rainbows would work in a 20 gallon? I was thinking of setting up a tank for my mom and i thought rainbowfish would be nice but she wants a small tank.

Try finding some Pseudomugil connieae, P furcatus, or the P tenellus (one of my favorites), as well the Iriatherina werneri, as for the bigger varieties you could try Melanotaenia maccullochi (only gets 2-3 inches), M parva, M praecox would make a wonderful bright flashy colony in a 20 gallon. _____________________________________________________________ There is always a bigger fish...
