so i have a 20 gallon just sitting at my house and i dont know what to do with it. any suggestions? i need help on all aspects of the tank becasue i have no idea what i want to do with it. I need suggestions for stocking, filtration, substrate, decorations, ect. i would really apreciate your help because i hate to see a perfectly good tank go to waste

I have the same problem.. total we have 90g, 75g, 3x 60g, 20g, and a 10g up and running. I have like 3 extra 10gs and one extra 20g. Im gonna put my 2 corys in there maybe a tiny pleco (til he gets big he can move to my other tanks) then maybe like a few neon tetras and some nice plants. Just somethin relaxing, low upkeep and non aggressive. I personally would do black substrate with some live plants. I love the way the neon tetras look with black rock. Id maybe throw in a few larger rocks to create some caves. I duno. Just an idea

sounds great except for the stocking suggestion. i hate mollies, tetras, guppies, ect.lol. i just can stand em.lol. i was thinks an african cichlid tank. like to use as an african grow out tank? sound good?

or maybe some clown loaches=]

Too small for africans or clown loaches. Try a dwarf cichlid planted tank with neons as dithers?

one little itty bitty stink pot (please do check whether they are legal or not before you try to get one)
this will be a really odd looking pet you can have
and is really cute too

go terrarium
or cories.

OR dwarf puffers. 8 of em. plenty of places to hide. aggressive and fun. that is my next plan (because i am getting sick of tetras in my planted 20g).
