Hi, I'm new here and I have a question about a group of Montezuma swordtails I just purchased for a twenty gallon . .
AS you can probably guess, the issue is that most sources say 30 gallons minimum for a group, but I already have these guys and they seem pent up in their bag. I have rice fish as well, that seem to be half the size.
So, should I release them into the tank, just to return them, keep them in their bag ( with top open ) and try to return them tomorrow if they accept returns, or try to make this work?
I'd greatly appreciate any help on this time-sensitive mess I've got myself into and I'll do my research before purchasing fish again. x.x;
