Stocking a 20L

[BetaBetta]

How many oscars would fit comfortably in a 20L? 1 fish? None? I am setting up a new tank, and would at least have some sort of pleco.


Other than that, someone won't let me have a canister filter, says they're too big for a 20g. He/she is probably right, though.

[PikeCichlid]

Not many non-dwarf cichlids will fit in there.DO NOT put an oscar in there,unless you plan on buying AT LEAST a 75g.Have you seen the colors on some of the killifish species?Outstanding!!Just no big fish,PLEASE!!AND,you can never have too much filtration,just too much current.

Crazyfish? Or no?

[PikeCichlid]

Crazyfish? Or no?Are you asking me if this "fish " is acceptable?If so,i know of no crazy-fish in existence.If it is slang for somthing,with that name i'm shure it cannot go in a 20.

[BetaBetta]

Err...Crazy fish is also called Ca Bong, butis butis

[Ruben Tolon]

Butis butis is sometimes referred to as 'crazy fish'

[PikeCichlid]

Do these fish have a certain temperment?Iv'e kept quite a few cichlids over the years.I did start with peacefull fish,but after my Vieja mix bit me for the first time,i've been hooked on tankbusters.Good rule of thumb when unshure of potential stocking is to make shure the full grown length of the fish will not exceed the width of the tank.Meaning the poor beast can still turn around.In a 20L,a fish is not allowed much room.So if this "crazy fish" stays small then go ahead.Just PLEASE leave the oscars and such for the people with sumps bigger than mosts peoples tanks.As they poop alot,and are subject to HLLE.

Thank You

Butis butis gets to 6" max so maybe by itself...as it is predatory also.

Other than that any dwarf cichlid or tang. shelldweller will work :)
