the fish list kinda got changed after i went to work so i got the angels and head and tail light with the rams like chadly suggested.
the wood is just a root thingy i found at the local lake. i boiled it and stuck it in there. the light is kinda holding it down till it gets water logged. the branch is named twiggy after i hike to find some of this stuff.
i really like it myself. i wish i had found a duplicate for it because i would have used the other one on the other side but did this in a 55 maybe lol would have looked neat. but what you going to do i almost dies trying to get this one hehe

The tank is only a 20g and you are stocking it like its alot bigger.

You shouldn't even keep 1 Angelfish in a 20g tank. They get way too tall and big for that kind of tank size.

Pick 1 big school of fish (10-12) or 2 schools of 6. Then you have room for some bottom fish like smaller Cory species (5-6). Don't get anything that grows over 2" (schooling and Cories). That is it. Your tank IS NOT big enough for anything else.

Get rid of the Angels or put them in a much larger tank. The smallest I'd put 3 Angels in is a 40g.


Your stocking lists on the other page was insane. There is no way you could get 4 school of fish in a 20g (humanely).

okay well if you read the angels are only in there for the looks right now. THEY ARE BEING MOVED.
im going to get just a few more head and tail lights.like 3 thats it i dont want it crazy in the tank.
i also now have two rams in the tank. so the tank will only consist of
10-head and tail light tetras
2-german rams
1-bristle nose pleco

im better now the tank is fine though everyone is happy!!
the new cryts are growing up right now they like the light.
and the cabomba is growing a bit YAY!! pictures tomarrow i just did a relay today and did 29 laps which is a lot at our stadium and im to tired to even see the screen anymore lol

bratyboy2

I like it, I like it!!!

What happened to Tweegy?
You where right about removing that annubias, it looks better without it!

bratyboy2

shurik what you mean bout twiggy?
yah they just looked so out of place in the tank!!!
im glad you like it i do too.

Shurik

Oh, never mind about tweegy, I just thought you got another an additional wood and named it this way, but you were talking about your original one!

Aesthetically angel fish looks really cool in it, but it’s too bad they grow so big you got to move them out.
I really like your last picture too!
Now what about that bristlenose, that one is going to be an elephant too

bratyboy2

no the bristlenose only gets 5 inches max so it shouldnt be to bad.
i honestly know i can keep those angels in there as long as i want. they are the shorter finned kind not the veil kind. yah they should be in there own tank but they are fine for now so im keeping them there. im not worried.


when we seeing pics of yours there shurik??!?!

Shurik

I am “mineralizing” the soil for my 50 gal and the mud is all over my living room, I don’t know if you want to see THAT!
I got Eheim pro II 2026 filter for this one too, and what else… being busy with some boring stuff, nothing worth taking pictures of, really.

As of my 20 gal – it is growing so slooooow, low light, low tech, so no reasonable update on it yet either.
The bristlenose is going to look like a giant phinosaurus in your tank!
