Not that anyone noticed but I took a 6-month break from Mfk, and i'm glad to be back. I just overhauled a 20 gallon tank I had because all the fish were mysteriously dying off. Now that that Is all fixed what are some stock suggestions? There are some plants, but those could be moved if necessary. It would be cool to have some kind of planted tank, but it would be cool if I could do some kind of dwarf cichlid (no rams) or invertebrate. I'm not a huge fan of tetras and I already have some. What do you guys think?
 
I particularly miss African Cichlids, could I do some shelldwellers or another kind of dwarf African cichlid?
 
That's perfect, I went to a camp and I picked up a couple branches. Do you know how I can clean them? and what plecos would be good, something that would not outgrow it and not too expensive ( so no Zebras!!) All I really know of the top of my head is bristlenose plecos
 
Could some catfish fit in there other than cories? And the raphael seem pretty cool but I don't know too much about them...

Well from experience they are pretty cool eat at night but could get lucky if you get one active during the day. Not aggressive whatsoever. Grow pretty slow and big eaters. Mine loves shrimp pellets but I'm sure all do. Up to you to decide but they are cool. Look them up online.

The catfish seem nice but don't I need a larger tank to keep them long term. And is the marbled color form any different?

No they don't get big. Only like 6 inches max I've heard. Never seen one at 9 inches like the stores say they do get. And I don't know the difference between the two.
