Imagine a 20 gallon, fully cycled tank with "the works" appeared from nowhere. What would you do with it?
 
Rams and tetras! Or a shrimp tank with tons of shrimp and micro fish heavily planted!

Lol, I'd ask the tank faerie for a 55g with "the works" and cross my fingers while I aquascaped the 20g into an iwagumi style tank featuring sa bumblebee cats and diamond tetra, and don't forget the otocinclus

Aqua scape it all fancy with driftwood and plants and then have like 10 small fish like 6 neons or and 4 corys.
 
I would get some shellies and maybe dither fish like danios and make it a rift lake sort of tank

I'd breed enough fish in it to pay for a larger tank set up ;)


Now that's my kinda attitude

That's the actual reason for the shellies and danios (all easy to breed as I'm sure you know ;) )

Your 20 Gallon

Hello sini...

I had a similar situation. I got 8 Rosey Danios and a couple of female Guppy fry and put them all in the tank with some Anubias, moss, Hornwort and Common water weed.

Attached is a pic of the tank.

Don't know what I'd do with another 20g. With a 10g (RCS) a 55g (Discus) a 10g nano (SW) a 40g (SW) build in progress and a 20g QT, I'm just undecided as to what to do. As it is, there's 11 in my garage just waiting for inhabitants. ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1412182974.373881.jpg
