Alright, so I'm jumping the gun here. Currently cycling the second attempt at a 20 gal tank. I have been cycling about 3.5 weeks and no ammonia but nitrites keep getting high so I am doing water change every couple days. However, I am trying to plan what I would like in the tank and try not to overstock it.
I have in it right now one bristlenose pleco, one dwarf rainbow and one Harlequin Rasbora. I really like the rasboras and plan to get 4 or 5 more once fully cycled of course. I also want to get 4-5 neons or cardinals (is there a difference? is there a size difference?) because I like the blue stripe to add some color, the tank is very RED.
How many other fish can I get? I've been considering a couple yoyo loaches, a dwarf gourami, or even a Blue Ram (dare I dream? 8O )
Ideas
Maybe one day if I can actually get fish to live in my 20 gal I'll buy a REALLY big tank and get a whole pile of fish.
Is the rule 1" fish / 1 gallon true?
