Advise on 20 gal stocking...

[tsalvageboy]

Anyone out there have any good ideas for my brother's 20 gal tank. He likes aggressive communities but is willing to try something different. I went out looking to get some ideas today and we saw some killifish. They look really cool. Any of you guys know anything about them, what they eat, companions, water, decor? Or if you have a good idea for a non-aggressive community, tell me. Give me all your best ideas. Thanks alot.

Killifish would be a good choice especially if you're a beginner. They are very hardy and can adapt to a variety of water conditions, plus their colors are beautiful. They'll eat brine shrimp, white worms, tubifex, and some dry flake and frozen foods. Peaceful tankmates could be a couple of dwarf gouramis, platies, danios, tetras, or rasboras...

Semi-aggressive? There's also the option of a school of 8 Tiger Barbs or Green Tiger Barbs...my fav. Less than 8 and they'll bug other fish. Apparently one either loves or hates these fish. I love them but they'll wait for their own tank, somewhere in my fishy future.
