No problem. In general when I help people who don't have a specific fish in mind I suggest a school of small tetras, 3-5 cory cats, and 1 smaller "centerpiece" fish. Usually can't go wrong with that type of stock and you will have plenty of movement at all levels of the tank.

Agreed, for a 20 gallon the old 1 dwarf gourami, 4 tetras, and 4 cories always works. But you have tons of other options. Just google freshwater aquarium fish and go to all the sites and look for fish you like, and read about them.

Thank u

If u give me a list of fish you like, I will think of a few stock lists that'll work.

Is this tank long or tall?

I like fish that are not too small... Maybe i should get a bigger tank.. :/

For a tank that size I'd suggest the standard small starter fish like corydoras, platys, mollies, tetras, debauwi catfish, dwarf gourami, a small selection of any of those would look nice, get along peacefully, and there shouldn't be any problems with overcrowding if you don't get too many

Dwarf gourami are beautiful fish. They don't get too big and come in really nice colours. Since you initially wanted an angel, I think gourami would be a great substitute!

Also kribensis or apistogramma would be an awesome piece.
