Surely a 5inch pike livebearer would be worse than a 4inch butterfly fish? I like the idea of exodons though!
20g High stocking ideas

a 20g high is only 60cm long and 30 wide, it would barely have enough room to turn around, let alone swim.
The reason the pike may work better then the butterfly is the butterfly needs more room on the top, they literally only stay at the top so a long is much better then a tall for that specie.
Exodons are neat, not hard to handle, and eat normal (for preds) foods. For the butterfly you'd have to either catch bugs or keep some kind of cricket holder, or feed it mealworms, and like I said a 20 ga tall just isn't good for one. Unless you can get a long I'd say go exodon. Much much more interesting to watch a small group of them then one butterfly that will hardly ever move because lack of space

I'll definitely consider exodons then, will 6 be enough? I've heard that small groups don't last very long due to aggression?
oh ... i thought it will be 80cm long and a 40 wide
sorry i don't know alot of things about gallons i use litters and cm
nvm ... just have some lobster for life matehe is just 15cm and don't swim just give him place to hide
Yeah, sorry. I probably should have put my tank dimensions to avoid confusion. What type of lobster could I get?
You may want to go with more, I've been told from friends and LFS shopkeeps that owned them that they will kill each other if the group is too small. They both said 6 and up should be good but they both also never tried anything under 9. 9 would be too many for that tank unless you want to be doing a big WC every couple days. If your up to it it could work, but 6 or 7 I feel would do fine. I did a lot of research on them when I wanted to start a specie tank for em but I decided to keep breeding mollies instead

Planted with African leaf fish or spotted Ctenopoma? Ctenopoma does get bigger but a cool puppy type fish after it settles.
