…what would you put in it?
Been out of the hobby for a few years now due to living situation, hoping to get involved again within the year. Just brainstorming, researching & planning out exactly what I want…too bad I don't know what it is! So what would you guys stock?
(Would have 20 gal. sump & Fluval canister filtration)
 
With a clean slate the possibilities are endless!
Personally I would do a bunch of L number plecos, a few upper jaw bichirs, and a flag tail characin or a few scombs with river rocks an manzanita driftwood with PFS as substrate
Or a pair of festae, trimacs, or some other big cichlid

The ultimate tool for a master fish keeper with a record! I wonder how many times I will be able to use this quote
 
These are some good ideas!! Where do you guys normally obtain fish? I have no local stores. I was told to look at Jeff Rapps stock lists

How about some Red Tail Barracuda they are supposed to only get 11 inches long. or Banded Leporinus They are some mean fish but will do fine in a tank that small. I am a big fan of large tank small fish. Easier to keep that way. does not need 100% water changed every week :-)

You have a good point there! I always dreaded water changes!

Don't mix plecos and bichirs
