Moving the goldies out of the 20g into a larger tank. Before i do that, I want to be ready with stock to replace them in the 20.... Any ideas? Want to stay "non-heated" The tank is in a basement so wont get too hot or "that cold". I know some minnows will be good. Anything else? Barbs?

id do pygmy sunfish or killifish in a species only tank
that would be borinng IMO. the tanks arent as much fun if you cant fit variety in the stocking, especially if hte single species is tiny. im fine with big fish specis tanks, and badis, but not really much else.

Their are many small native species that would do well in a 20 gallon tank. Pygmy sunfish,many different shiners,darters, least killifish,pygmy killifish,blue fin killifish,banded sunfish,orangespotted sunfish, and many more. Do a little searching for native fish and you will find many colorful fish that will work.
