I have a setup 20 and a 10. not expecting much i was thinkning golden clams, marbled crayfish, trapdoor snails, more uncommon angelfish. any suggestions? thx
 
Not really enough room to be successful with more than a pair of angels. And, the other critters will only get you 50 cents to a few bucks each after alot of hassle.
For those size tanks, you'd be better off breeding some of the higher-end guppies or Endler's livebearers. Breeding recent show winners can get you $30 and up for young trios. Plus, they're easier to breed and the fry aren't demanding of specialized foods nor are the fry cannibalistic towards each other.
