Hello

We are going to redo our miserable 20 gallon freshwater tank. We're planning right now a guppy tank, but the guppies are quite expensive, but affordable. Is there any fish tanks there is for a 20 gallon freshwater? What are its pleasures and descriptions?

Ex.

The Guppy Tank

Keeping a guppy tank is a good idea for a hobbyist, especially a beginner. Guppies are one of the most popular fishes in the world. They are VERY hardy and known for their wide and colorful tails. They are very friendly, but males can be a bit aggressive around breeding time. Guppies prefer a bit of salt in their water. Also, they are very prolific breeders and are livebearers, meaning that they release their young free-swimming. A 20 gallon tank is just perfect for a guppy tank. It's ok not to keep them in an unplanted tank. They will enjoy bubbles from airstones or bubble walls. They will accept most fish foods. You will love them right away.



Thanks in advance!

Community tank-

This is the standard type of fish tank multitude of fish in it. Smaller fish that do ok without large schools are your best bet in a 20g tank. It requires some research, but can work out well.

Molly Tank-

Similar to a guppy tank, though mollies prefer a little bit of salt in their water (guppies can survive salt, but are perfectly happy to live and breed in pure freshwater). As with guppies, a smaller tank may not be good for a mixed-gender tank, as the growing population can soon exceed the tank's bioload

Inverts only-

An interesting concept that I'm going to try at some point, it's just what the name says, it's a tank of invertebrates.

betta-
A single betta, perhaps with a trio of dwarf cories and a trio of otos to do housekeeping, and plenty of plants would make a beautiful tank (once all of my fish get shuffled around, Sun Ce is going into a 20g long tank).

Tetras-
Particularly a planted tank filled with neons or cardinals would be really beautiful. I have a dream of owning a 300g tank loaded with a couple hundred neons, just to see if they'll school in that large of a quantity.

A "natural" tank-
Filled with fish and plants from a particular area of the world, this tank attempts to be a slice of nature. Requires a lot of research, but can be very rewarding.
