[siang]

what can i keep with these please? i have a 20g tank

Nothing if you get a breeding pair...which is what I'm trying to do in my 20gal

 

[siang]

not too worried if they breed, they are only babies right now though. was thinking a pair of blue rams and a couple of kuhli loaches?

first, how many do you have as juvis? and 2nd depeinding on the type of 20 gallon it is, you can either have a pair with no other fish or a male or 2 females with a small schooling type of fish, like danios or tiger barbs or some type of larger bodied tetra.

so is it a 20 long or 20 standerd?

My pair kills intruders when breeding in small tanks. They have been fine in the 210 though.

 

[siang]

its a 20g standard. 3 big rocks, and some plants inside. am getting 4 juveniles. was thinking either blue rams, or a couple of green tiger barbs and a couple of kuhli loaches

Nothing. You will be surprised that they breed when they are 1 in. long. And when you get one pair you can say goodbye to every other fish in the tank

 

[siang]

not even any bottom dwellers like smaller plecs? i am presuming 4 convicts will be fine together?

 

[siang]

have just found out, they are currently 1-2cm long. how fast do they grow?

 

[livebearerfreak]

no, 4 cons will not get along if one pairs up. if theres a pair then thats all that will fit in a 20 gallon. trust me, a pair of cons can kill ANYthing they set thee minds to.. my pair i had to divide cause they were pickiing on my oscars and this is a 112 gallon. they coulda killed my oscars which are 3x there size.
