Stocking friends tank

My friend, Mike, just set up an old fish tank he had lying around.
He's guessing it to be about 20 gal. He'll be cycling with TSS.

My question is:
If you could put anything in this tank; what would it be?

First, take measurements and use Fish Lore's calculator to see what size it is.

Hmmm... If I could find one, I'd for sure get a dwarf or figure 8 puffer! They are adorable and have long lives!

Freshwater, sorry!
Just assume it's 20 gal. If it's more, than it'll be understocked. That will be good for him. Less work.

If I had an extra spare 20 gallon lying around and another heater to use, I would put some African killifish in there with a bunch of anubias.

Anything?! I'd put in 1 Marbled headstander, 1 African butterfly fish, 1 Bristlenose pleco & 4 Corys.

First though, measure the tank and use the calculator on this site to find out how big the tank acctualy is.
