Thanks everyone. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I like to create "nooks and crannies" in my tanks with rock and wood ... gives them a few spots to be by themselves ... I built a "porch" so that the old fish could hang out ... maybe I've gone too far ...

Your aquarium looks great!

agabr123

looks great! you may want to add a few more plants or caves so your fish can feel a little safer and more comfortable, but other than that i like it!

dodgers948

Do you have any kinds of plants the you prefer or think my fish would like? Pics would be nice if you do!

agabr123

driftwood would be great if you can find any, and you can attach anubias, java fern, or java moss they can all be attached to the driftwood. there should be pictures in the link in my signature, but i'll double check.

dodgers948

Ok. Do they usually sell driftwood at LFS? And I assume they wouldn't have any at Petco...

agabr123

well you can get either real or fake driftwood, petco probably has some, it's definitely worth it to look

I like this aquarium! Love the guppy too, he's cool! In my opinion, I'd be on the lookout for any aggressive behavior from the CAE (chinese algae eater). I find them to be very useless when it comes to algae cleanup, and they do get a little pushy when they get older.

Nice tank but you might need to get a bigger tank for the chinese algea eater as they can get very agressive when there older

beautifel setup

Vincent

Yes your local fish store would have drift wood, as well as anubias and java fern, which are two very undemanding plants perfect choice. and your fish will love it.

dodgers948

ok so I got some driftwood and another plant. it looks good thanks for the advice! And for the chinese algae eater, i took him back and am planning on getting a pleco. what kind do you suggest for a 20 gallon tank (besides a bristle nose)?

framerd

you guys have great ideas thanks im taking notes ha ha
your tank looks very nice

dodgers948

I will be posting updated pictures with the driftwood so stay tuned! You will be able to compare before and after.

Fu Manchu Dude

If You can afford it and find one you might want to get a zebra pleco im not very sure but i think thats wat its callaed
or maybe a school of corys.....

good luck

namehater

looks good, i think you should add some more plants tho

navyscuba

I always wanted a Zebra Pleco but my wife tells me that they look creepy. hahaha

dodgers948

Yes I want to add some more plants. Do you think I should get taller ones or wider ones?

Also would the Zebra Pleco do ok with the fish and the size tank that I have?

Jupiter

I like your tank. I was going to suggest driftwood but others did and you already got it. (I'm always a day late and a dollar short!) I look forward to your new pictures.

MeGustaUnaPez926

Aren't zebra plecos the super super expensive ones? I would get a clown or a rubbernose pleco. But you'll have to buy algae pellets for them because your tank looks pretty clean.

dodgers948

Ya I got some pellets for my Pictus Catfish but he doesn't really eat them. He likes the plants and gets food of off the bottom when I feed my fish. But ya I am prepared for the Pleco. Which one do you like best that would fit in my tank?

**New Pics maybe this weekend. Not a big change but whatever...

MissMTS

Nice tank A BN pleco would do well in your tank. I am such a sucker for those guys I would suggest swapping out the printed background for a solid one. I think that the solid backgrounds look more natural Other than that it looks great!

coffeebean

looks good! i agree with the suggestion of driftwood. i love heavily planted tanks so of course i would suggest more plants as well. make sure you only buy plants that will do well in your lighting.
for a 20 gallon tank rather then a pleco i would suggest two or three otos. they are small and cute and do a great job on algae. that and a snail. snails are great on clean up crew and interesting to watch

dodgers948

Thanks for your input. I am going to get an Inca snail. I don't want to get Ottos because I am afraid they will fight with my catfish. So how many snails do you think I should get?

namehater

i second the bristlenose comment. ive had my albino for about a month or so and i love him. when i have guests over, they are blown away by him.
