	Freshwater....or Saltwater?
tankster Fingerling Posts: 44 Kudos: 43 Votes: 4 Registered: 23-Aug-2004	I'm thinking of starting a new aquarium, 20 gallons, and I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it in terms of what kind of fish I want. I could go the easy route, and do freshwater, probably some cichlids, or I could get serious and go to saltwater. I'm experienced enough to handle either, it's just a matter of who thinks what is better. You decide, k? Thanks. -Tankster

Shellies or apistos would be nice, you could have a pair of kribs, or do a killie tank. I like the clownfish idea, if you're ready for saltwater. Or have you thought about a brackish tank? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

littlemousling Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003	It's only a 20, so I'd say skip salt for now and go with something lovely and fascinating, like shelldwellers or apistos. The next tank can be big and salty, perhaps. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!
