that was really helpful, thanks. so is the general opinion that a pair of convicts could be kept alone in a 20g tank?

yeah, that's what i thought. tell me more about your convicts in the 20 gallon. did they breed? was the fighting constant to the point it was cruel? just a bit more info. i might just go with another idea... 20 gallons doesn't seem big enough

hmm they look alright... not really what i'm looking for though. anyone got any other suggestions? it would be great to have an easy-to-breed species.

Okay, so I'm fed up of planted tanks and have thought long and hard and would love a cichlid 'community'. I know it's kind of hard ina 20 gallon though. I'm thinking with like rock structures and such. I don't really want dwarf cichlids because I've already kept them - I'm looking for...

how many do you have? danios are shoaling fish so should be kept in groups no less that six in my opinion but the more the merrier. males are slimmer and smaller and usually have more gold colouration. zebra danios will chase each other and maybe nip a bit but it's just playful - no harm is...

in theory, that stocking is fine although i wouldn't do it because you've got too many bottom dwellers. i would forget the loaches and forget the panda cory because it isn't fair just having one, then maybe increase the shoal of the other cories by one or two. all of your other suggestions are...

hmm i prefer cories so i'll probably get a few of those. just wondered about the bristlenoses and plants.

so i've never kept a pleco in the couple of years that i've been keeping fish. come to think of it, i've never kept a true bottom dweller or catfish. but i am considering getting a pair of bristlenoses for my 20g when it's rescaped. however i am a little worried about what i've read. the tank...

they are definately serpaes. i think there is a variety that doesn't have the black spot. however, when i bought five of these they lost the spot - not completely but it was faded. i then increased the shoal to eight and they became a lot more colourful and the spot come back so i would say...

i don't have a partner but my parents aren't that interested. my mum doesn't even come into the lfs with me! my dad does although he isn't that interested - he just moans when i say that i'm redoing my tanks again. my sister does pretend to be interested with her little 10gal. they have been...

Before getting any other fish, buy your Bronze Cory some more Bronze friends.

java moss and cabomba

there's not much you can do except leave them there and pray. but it would be a good idea to get your water tested.

cheers, that's great. just the answer i wanted :)
