20gallon High

[Peedib89]

i posted this in general aswell but thought i might get more help in here.

Hey guys i have a 20High that all cycled and waiting for fish but im not sure what i want to stock it with. I was thing a small population of colorful live bearers and them some thing that will keep there fry population in check. If i get 2 over run with fry i could always give the tiger barbs and RTS a snack in the 45g.

try endlers.

I would go with either endlers or guppies, even "feeder" guppies are colorfull and they can be cheap too (10 for $1 around here)
The other common live bearers get a little too big for a 20 if you want a breeding population.
As for something to keep the population in check... hm... maybe a betta?

((forgive the newbie question))
When you say High.. you mean its a taller tank? Right?

My 15gal is one of the upright ones so I assume its a 'high'.
I assume this limits the ground space more.... so would 2 mollies, 1 betta & 3 albino corys be considered too much for my tank??

Yes.

no it would not, each are in seperate zones as far as aquarium space and mollys and corys and bettas dont grow relatively large. so ur fine
