Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hey all, I'm the new kid in town. I'm a 20 yr old art student in Kansas with a love for all things fishy. I'm very new to this hobby; I've been keeping a common pleco for about a year (he was a rescue ) and have been housing him in a 20 gallon with some minnows that my dad had leftover from fishing (so I guess they were rescues too?). The last of the minnows have died and now I have this sad lonely pleco.
Now I know that common pleco's get to a monstrous size, and I have no intention of getting rid of him, so I will need a much larger tank for him. But I am moving out of my house in a year and a half, and would like to wait to get a large tank until I move. Still, I'm impatient and want to get some tank mates for my pleco. These are the fish I've been thinking about:
6 Glofish
3 Platy
2 Dwarf Gourami
1 Bamboo Shrimp
I'm also in love with Betta fish, but know that they pick on and get picked on by many species. Which of these fish would work with a Betta (male or female)? A betta isn't a must, but I'm interested in the possibility.
The 20 gallon tank is decorated and heated at 76 degrees F. I'm soaking driftwood currently and still have about a week left to soak.
Any advice is welcome! Thank you for the help in advance.
