There is a fish up at my workplace that I would like to "adopt." I believe that it is a male Johanni (I hope to do more research to get it figured out). If I can get him out of his current (terrible) setup, would he be ok by himself in a 20L? I would like a bigger tank but I have the 20L just sitting around my house and I could cycle it with a filter off of one of my other two tanks (each has an extra filter on it for situations like this). Would this work? He is currently in a 10 gallon and I just can't stand it! Thanks for any input!

I've considered getting another 40 breeder during Petco's dollar per gallon sale (whenever that may be) so that I can move him and possibly get him some company, I was just hoping that a 20L would help solve the immediate issue with how cramped he is right now. Thanks so much for your response!
I was really hoping a 40 breeder would work for him and perhaps a few females. That was my ultimate goal, but I can plan for something else if I need to. My plan at this point is to simply get him out of that tiny tank and make sure he is healthy.

I'm confused. Are you saying you have a 20L or a 20G. A 20L is only 5 gallons.
