stocking a empty 20gallon (18g precisely)

[elementkid65]

hey guys and gals

i got a empty 18 gallon tank and are looking for suggestions
to keep in it???

firstly

no shell dwelling cichlids,
platys,swordies,guppies,cardinals,neon tetras,minnows,rasboras,barbs,dwarf gourami,goldfish

(i either already have them, they do not catch my fancy or had them and r over them)

i am interested in rams or a school of glass catfish and khuli loaches

oh and btw there will be two clown loaches sharing he tank untill they get a bigger tank (as they cant go with my cichlids :sillyso they need to be compatible with them

any suggestions will be greatly apreciated thank you in advance

I'd rather get rid of them than wait for a big tank. It is not worth cramping them in a small tank even in the meantime.

My suggestion:
A few cories
One pair of blue rams
Diamond tetras

8 red eye tetras
1 pair of bolivian rams

clown loachs dont mix well with african cichlids, plus that tank is still to small.

if you must have the clowns, that would be all i had in there till i moved them.

if you get rid of the clowns, i would go with some apistos.

Don't forget the water. Empty tanks could harm the fish. he he he

definitely apistos with a school of small tetras.

 

[Aphotic Phoenix]

Pygmy hatchets and Apistos!

*Edit* Small tetras aren't really recommended with bottom dwelling dwarfs like rams/apistos if you want successful breeding. Hatchets however stay in the upper sections of the tank and therefore less likely to be feasting on your fry.
