    This comes in handy as petco just claimed another dollar per gallon victim. Went in for another 10 gallon, ended up with a 20 long lol.

      DirtySheets75 you’ll thank petco later 10gals are just a lot of maintenance and you can’t really fit a lot of fish in there.

      Nah, I talked myself into it haha. Already have 2 ten gallons filled with nano fish. Only gotta do water changes once every two weeks. They're filled to the brim with plants though and have sponge filters in both.

    Before I tell you my favorite fish in my 20 gallon tank, I want to thank you! We lost our electricity for 12 hours today and, with the help of my battery-powered air pump (purchased from Aquarium Coop on-line), foil blanket and all the info you provided via TH-cam, it appears my fish made it through without harm. I am really grateful to you. Now, my favorite fish are the corydoras. I have 6 now (3 albino and 3 panda) and I love to watch them scoot around the tank...they have tons of personality.

    I have the most normal 20 gallon ever. A planted tank with neon tetras, guppies, salt and pepper corys, and a betta. Very colorful and active tank, and the best thing is that they are all pretty inexpensive, easy to keep fish.

    • @LusioEcarts
      @LusioEcarts 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    In the past, I've also kept German blue ram, neon tetras, cardinal tetras, marbled hatchetfish, furcata or forktail rainbowfish, betta fish, honey gourami, and balloon mollies (not all at the same time).

  • @AdamTillontheWeb

    One of my favourite 20 gallon long setups was a species tank for 30 otos (back when I was trying to breed them). I’d heard from someone that collected them wild that they they found them in a moderately moving stream, so I setup a big block of rock work in the middle and used some moderate power heads to create a current that flowed around the rock. The otos would hang out on the rocks during the day, but in the evening they’d end up playing “nascar” and swam big circles around the tank. Super fun to watch. Kept them that way for about 6 months and then “upgraded” to a 90, and basically never saw them again in all the plants and wood. Neat tank.

    @MusingsFromTheDen 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    This video came at the perfect time as I'm getting my new 33 gallon tomorrow! I like the leopard Danio and my LFS seems to have them in quite regularly so I may get some once the aquarium is cycled. 😊 I originally had T. Heteromorpha but they died of a mystery illness (based on symptoms the most likely culprit was columnaris). After that I switched to Hengel's Rasbora and they're tough as nails! 😄 Very beautiful too, with that Day-Glo Orange stripe and lemon yellow fins. 😊

    • @MusingsFromTheDen
      @MusingsFromTheDen 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The tank upgrade went pretty well - I stumbled upon your video on how to net fish and I'd never seen that technique so we tried it and with the exception of one stubborn individual, it was quite quick. 😊

  • @lennoxpurinton9059
    @lennoxpurinton9059 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love your videos. I have a 55 Gallon tank with a large variety of fish. Platies, Mollies, Bloodfin, Neon, and Serpae Tetras, 4 corydoras, 1 khuli loach with 3 tiger sand loaches, 1 pictus cat, a few killies, one blue gourami, one redtail shark, some zebra danios, and A male and female pineapple swordtail along with their off spring. Now I know this sounds like a lot, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few, but everything in my tank is very happy and growing nicely. And I have had this tank since the later part of last July.

  • @ricktoffer01
    @ricktoffer01 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The best fish I did in my 20 gal long was a green sunfish and a juvenile channel cat. I had to take them back to the lake where I caught them because they were getting too big to keep. I now have a school of Dace minnows and two Madtoms and two Jhonny Darters. I have set up another 20 long to use as a freshwater jellyfish tank. I've done research on freshwater jellyfish and getting the tank to set up for them. I'm using Coontail and Elodea as water plants. I have placed about two hundred daphnia in the tank. Using a Wisper PF-10 5-10 gallon nano hang on the back filter with extended tubes that go into the gravel. That is modified with more sponge in the filter area. They eat zooplankton and small animals like daphnia. Hopefully, the daphnia will have populated a good number by the summer of 2020 and I can get a few of them. These jellies require real clean water and live in most US states. I know of a pond in Blacksburg VA. where I can get bryozoans that are also good filter feeders. When you think about it all tropical fish are someone's native fish. I like the native fish where I live. the good thing is if you have to move and tear down your tank you can release the fish where you caught them. Have you ever studied the native fish in your state? The most responsible thing you must do when starting a native tank is to make sure the fish you want to keep is not on the endangered list. Then you have to know the ph of the water which is usually the same as your tap but not always. What I like to do is fill my aquarium with the water from where I'm going to get my fish filter the water through a very fine floss as to not get anything I don't want later in the tank. Also the plants and let the tank cycle with one fish usually a Madtom because they are a hardy fish. Then in a month, the other Madtom and in a month or little more after that add the school of Dace or Shinner minnows. The very first tank I had was a 10 gal and I had 6 neon tetras, two hatchet fish two cory cats and a freshwater flounder. With an under gravel filter with a box filter in one corner and an airstone in another. I had them for three years with no losses then I had to give the tank up when I went into the US Navy. I enjoy your show and learned something about filtration media in filters and how to modify them. I thought you always needed charcoal. Did you know shinners can tolerate water temperatures from 32- 104 degrees Fahrenheit or 0-40 degrees Celcius. A good choice when you live in a trailer with inadequate heating and air conditioning. But the tank has been doing fine so far even have a solar generator charged up in case the power goes off it will run both tanks for a month.

My tank is heavily planted has a massive filter and plenty of places to hide. I’m a little stumped as to how to finish the last of the stock. Obviously I’m going for an easy going community tank. I plan on adding one or two more things, I want to add some kind of “jewel of the tank” kind of fish, like one (or two if required) really pretty or unique fish and then maybe a handful of guppies or something, I’m not quite sure yet.

    I'm running a 29 gallon planted tank with 3 panda corys, 10 harlequin rasboras, 10 celestial danios, about 20-30 neocaridina shrimp along with 3 nerite snails. Love the look so far. Seems to be finding its balance. My tank was set up about 3-4 months ago. running a fluval 2.0 light

    In a 20 long. African dwarf frogs with a betta for the color. (And I just love betta fish) Planted with lots of hiding spaces. My kids loved it when they were young. Might do another now that I’m reminiscing…. Also I used silk plants back then. Would love to give it another go with live plants.

    My 20 long had 8 Panda Corys, 2 Male Guppies, 4 Female Guppies, Double Tail Betta, 1 Yellow Rabbit Snail, Mystery Snails, 1 Bamboo Shrimp, Yellow Shrimps, and tons of Plants. They are all now in a 55 gallon tank with an addition of 4 Bronze Corys, 6 Salt and Pepper Corys, and Taiwan Bee Mischlings. I do find it difficult though to find fish that are compatible (or with the right temperament) to coexist with my shrimp, any suggestions?

    My favorites in a twenty are any Corydoras, and ghost catfish. I'm partial to cats of all kinds. Right now I've got mostly Corycats, a golden wonder killi, and a couple of female guppies that were being picked on in another tank. The guppies are much happier now. I looove ember tetras but they're hard to find here!

    Very cool fish. Out of your list, I would like to put some of those Julidochromis in my 75 in dining room. I'm not a big Cichlid fan, but those look really cool, and the albino would look really cool as a pseudo "cave fish"

    Right now I have 2 SA Bumblebee catfish and a BN pleco in one of my 20Ls. It's kind of a boring tank since they all like to hide, but I eventually want to replace it with a 40B and don't want to add more fish until that's done. My other 20L is a mix of Harlequins, Serpae tetras and Panda cories... so 2 out of 3 made the list.

  • @katnewman2856

    No idea how big a 20g is in liters as I'm from England but my faves by far are panda cories and rummynose tetras. Just added some ottos too and they're fun! Thanks for the info tho, if I ever get room for another community tank I'll be coming back for some of those names.
