Ok, so my 20 gallon tank has been unoccupied since Feb., and I think its time to get some fish in there.
I'm thinking cichlids.
Before anybody rants off saying "20 gallons is too small for cichlids!", I agree, and I understand. However, I do have at hand, the power of the internet.
The internet suggests I could get away with a pair of convict cichlids. True, false?
I've also been thinking maybe a pair of angels. I have read, and know that angelfish get tall- very tall. Turns out my tank is a 20 gallon tall, not long. Suggestions?
I would defintely like to get a cichlid of some sorts. If what I recommended isn't plausible,what is?
Also keep in mind I'd like to have an algae buffer- a fish to assist in the removal of algae. I was thinking in the case of angelfish, 2-3 ottos, since I know from experience that they are fast little buggers. In the case of any other cichlid, I honestly have no clue. I'd assume any sort of bigger pleco?
