 | Moving Swords to a 20 gal, adding Platys, Cories, or ? |
crickit99   Hobbyist Posts: 136 Kudos: 194 Votes: 2 Registered: 21-Jul-2004   | OK, so I am thinking of planting my 20 gallon (24"L x 12"W), then moving my 3 swordtails out of the 55 gallon to it. I do want them to breed, and I'll take the fry I find out. What bottom dwellers could I add to the tank that wouldn't be too bad w/ eating the babies? Should I be concerned with Swords and Platys breeding? Or is that OK? And depending on the bottom dwellers, how many more Swords (maybe Platys) could I add and be OK?
