Ogpulchra Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) I'd like to set up a community tank with fish that would do fine at about 68° (evening temp) to 70-72° (daytime) long-term. Would the species below work in a heavily planted 20g long? 29g? I'm pretty set on this stocking list unless there are compatibility issues with any of the fish. I can go bigger if this seems like it would overstock a 20g long. I'd also bump up temps if needed. 6 red neon blue rainbowfish 6 clown killifish 1 male scarlet badis, cherry shrimp 2 nerite snails Edited October 3, 2021 by Ogpulchra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 if you havent purchased a tank, do yourself a favor and go for the 29.more gallons equals easier care of the tank, and more stability in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just hold off and do a 33 long. Any thoughts on fish compatibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GND Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Another cold water question: if temps get down to 68 would neon tetras be okay? Thanks for any advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any advice! I am not saying this is advisable but I do keep a single neon in an unheated tank and the fish does fine/thrives. Why do I only have one? Because they're way too finicky for me and I had a die off and this was the lone survivor, 8+ months later s/he is still thriving by themselves. The fish is really just a beast.
