Hello everyone, I'm hoping to get some suggestions and advice on stocking my new 20 gl high cycled tank. I'm planning on a peaceful community tank and do have ideas of what fish are appropriate, but what I need is to know stocking numbers for each species (top, middle and bottom) as well as what to stay away from. My fishkepping experience is intermediate.
For filtration I'm using 2 pumps, since the one that came with the tank (Aqueon Quiet Flow E for 20 gl) has poor performance reviews for the size of the tank. In addition I'm using an Aqueon Quiet Flow 10 from my previous tank. I assume this should provide adequate filtration for reasonable stocking options. Substrate is Caribsea Eco Complete and tank has live plants with plans to add more.
Basically I'm looking for schooling fish, some bigger eye catchers and bottom dwellers, what goes well together and most importantly numbers based on size of tank and filtration capacity. Thank you.
