Howdy,
I recently moved the fish I had in a 20 US gallon tank into a 55 US gallon tank (now my clown loaches can get nice and big --they're only 2.5 inches or so so far). I'm using up a lot of electricity, so I'd appreciate not having to heat the 20 gallon tank, which is now empty. But I'd also love to use the tank...it'd be a shame to waste a mature, cycled 20 gallon like that. So my thought was dojo loaches. They're cool water fish so I don't have to heat, and they can appreciate a fine gravel. I'd probably get 3 so they can be lively. My only question is if a 20 gallon can accomodate these fish. Unless the three of them can live their whole lives in that tank, I'm not really interested in getting them.
Thanks for any help you can give!
