What Catfish Would You Recommend For A 20 Gallon Community Tropical Ta

[tropicallover]

I have so far:
6 Zebra Danios
1 Male Betta
4 Mollies

None. Your tank is not cycled and the stocking isn't good and should be modified before you think about adding fish, and catfish won't help with your algae problem, Otocinclus might but they are not a good choice for newly setup tanks, they should be in mature tanks that have been cycled for 6-9 months

Have you just disregarded everything that everyone told you in your last thread?
You said you 'need' a catfish, dont get a fish to do the work for you.
I would leave your stocking as is and start doing some heavy water changes and test your water.
Also danios tend to nip bettas so keep an eye out.

Snake007: I am just doing research...I could not ask at all and have a very unhealthy tank?
I need a catfish however I am not getting it to do work for me. I have one of those magnetic algae scrubbers which I use EVERYDAY!

What about 6-8 panda cories in the future when you tank is settled and fine

Thanks! Do plants and snails help ammonia?

 

[Fishy friend2]

Most plants will, but snails will just produce more ammonia

 

[tropicallover]

Cool Thanks! Do you have plant recommendations? Plants that dont need soil and lots of light.

 

[Fishy friend2]

Hygrophila polysperma, anacharis, hornwort, moneywort, wisteria, parrots feather, and java moss are some great ones

 

[tropicallover]

Thanks!

Your welcome, I'm glad to help you out

Do you have a youtube account with your aquarium? Curious to see what it looks like!

 

[Fishy friend2]

I don't have an account but I can post a pic if you would like

 

[tropicallover]

Ya! If you dont mind that would be awesome! You just really seem to know your stuff?
