I have a 20 gallon tank with 12-13 adolescent guppies it is heavily planted, and am curious what else I may be able to get in there? I definitely wanted mystery snails, or at least one. Any input is appreciated.
Yo
your input is appreciated and I realized earlier one prior guppies that died they pooped clear and that meant illness so I’ve learned to treat that as well and not blame oxygenation etc I suppose I bought them that way but things like oxygenation that I can help I try my best with

no illness only a few hanging at the top but I put a circulation pump in with bubbles today and it appears to have done the trick no one at the top and all are moving active and even swim in the current
I notice that they do it more in the evening but I had another one die this morning, it is only the adults from the pet store and not my fry or the ones I have from a breeder. I do notice that a few fry will chill out at the top of the tank on occasion
No glues nothing I still got a circulation pump on sale anyway to try it why not at least I’ll get my answer I do water changes twice a week
I do water tests too there is always what seems to be a minute amount of ammonia like below .25 but it’s hardly recognizable in the test kit
Java Fern, Wisteria, Hornwort, Amazon Sword, and a moss ball. I have Over 20 fry and 4 adolescents and two adults, yes I am aware there is overstocking
I also do have a small airator that bubbles but its not much
One is rated for a ten and the other a twenty. The intakes are always cleaned and they run incredibly smooth they just don't disrupt enough water. They are both made by aqeuon
My tank is a 20 regular with 0 ammonia and nitrites with about 6 ppm nitrates. I have two HOB filters but there is not as much surface agitation as I would hope.
