I got three tanks for either extremely cheap or free in the past few weeks and as of now they're sitting in my garage empty (what a sad thought, an empty tank, lol!!!). One of the tanks is a 30 long but it's reserved as a green sunfish single species, single fish tank unless somebody can suggest something VERY amazing instead, but that'll be difficult seeing as there aren't RTCs that stay under 8" :D. The other two tanks are a 20 tall (24" x 12" x 16") and a 37 tall (30" x 12" x 24"). I have a few ideas I've been tossing around for them such as minnows and darters, breeding plecos, or dwarf catfish, as well as many other things but nothing is decided for these two yet. So what are some things I could put in a 20 tall and a 37 tall, fish I'm interested in are ALL catfish, US Natives, and breed-able fish (Specifically I'd like to try Corydoras or Plecos).

Like I said, I'm open to anything but I am partial to the fish I listed above so what are your ideas for each tank people!

bump.

How does this sound?

30 long: 1 Green Sunfish

20 Tall: Minnows and Darters

37 Tall: Breeding Trio of Ancistrus

Is it OK to leave Pleco fry with their parents to grow them out or would I need a fry tank?

Nobody, if you have other ideas I'm open to them as long as they're feasible.

Sounds good. Not so sure about a sunfish in the 20 tall. But could try and see. If doubtful how about angels for the 20 tall and dwarf puffer for the 30?

Sunfish is going in the 30 long and minnows/darters in the 20 tall. I might just use the 37 as a tank for my Cutteri cichlid pair and then add some more fish to my 75 where they currently reside.
