I would like to get a new tank in about a month. I want a community live planted tank but......I've never owned live plants. im thinking a 20 gallon setup with a new stand. Anyone know where i can get that for cheap? Any suggestions for plants and tank would be greatly appreciated! Thank You!
If you're in USA petco do a$1 per gallon tank sale. if you get a 50 watt light you could try dwarf hairgrass, hornwort, ambulias or duckweed.
You'll need to check with your local Petco to find out when they do that sale as it is a sporadic event, but man when it happens it opens us up to a lot more options. The 40long is a an amazing tank and offers a great space for plants. The lowness in depth makes even a low light LED work better as there is less water for the light to pass through. I hope this helps. Brian
Yeah that sale is great. I got a 29G instead of a 20G (had planned on getting a 20G originally) because of the great deal. Were you thinking a 20 long or 20 high? If you're thinking a 20 long then I'd just get a 29G because the stand/light will cost the same for both, and you get more tank!
Good idea! That size opens up a lot of doors for fish species. IMO a 20G is just a big 10G when it comes to fish availability!
Or a pearl gourami. Love angels but I put a pearl in mine as the centerpiece fish. And he know it, hangs at the front, showing off!
Angelfish are worth it.. mine was a defective dwarf who got picked on and turned into the tank captain in a few short months. Look on your local fb yardsale sites. That's where the tank deals are. Plant before you stock!
