My 20 Gallon?

Question

What do you guys think i should put in my 20 gallon aquarium. I already know that i am going to have a male betta in it ( please don't answer if all you have to say is you can't do that ). but i want to add some more fish. Please if you can just put in some ideas on fish combos to add. I also know i will be getting a bottom dweller and possibly an african dwarf frog.

Thank you. :)

Answer 1

I have a 55gal with a male Betta, several Ember Tetras, a YoYo Loach, Albino Shark, A few Zebra Danios, some Glofish, a Clown Loach & a couple of Black Skirt Tetras. Befor that we had one with a bunch of Silver Dollars, a couple of Angel Fish and a Loach. Good luck! I love it when people put Bettas in a good sized tank with filters, air & other fish; shame on those who keep them in bowls.

Sure thing.. Make sure the fish are not fin nippers.

I've kept my betta with a school of tetras, and a pair of sword tails..

Make sure you introduce the betta last, after all the fish have settled into their new home.. That way the other fish already have their own territory, and the betta wont claim the whole tank as his.

Live plants are good.. Go for it.. But make sure you have proper lighting and what not.. With live plants, you dont need to clean the gravel much, because the fish p**p is good for the plants... Just siphon out any waste that gathers on the plants.

Make sure you cycle the tank first.

yeah you can do that.  i had one in my 10 gallon community .

i dont feel like thinking of exactly how many right now hahaha srry, but maybe.......do a community tank.  and no flashy fish that will like draw attention.    i wouldnt have any gouramis, and noooooo neon tetras, from personal experiance.

a couple swordtails, a few platys, maybe a school of 5 tetras, like blackskirt tetras or wutever, and likee a molly . maybe.

for bottemfeeders, get a few mystery snails, and i like kuhli loaches, but they dont really eat the algea and stuff, but i have 3 and theyre kool.

those are both good plants, its wut i have, and maybe some java moss.  i have a 20 gallon and dont have good lights and those are rly the only things that survive in my tank.

bettas are very aggressive and should be kept alone
