Congo tetra
Rummynose tetra
Black skirt tetra
Serpae tetra
Blue tetra
Endlers
Neon or cardinal tetra
And maybe as a centerpiece a marble angel?? Or little black and white commet goldfish

Do not buy a comet
My parents agreed to let me get a 20 gallon (give or take a few gallons) to replace my 5 gallon! Now I gotta decide what I want to do!
Im kinda stuck. I considered getting some shell dwelling cichlids but......... with a 20 long I could do alot! I am really stuck. I could do the shellies, or a community tank......
I just dont know! Tell me what you all think. The shellies are gourgeous but I dont know that I would like them long run. Also I already have a planted tank so I thought about doing something different like rocks. I have a cool sand and shell substrate I can use too...
A 20 tall just doesnt seem to have the footprint I want. I just dont know If I really want the shellies. I also have some catfish that need to get out of my nano tank. They ate all my shrimp and are to big.... Community tank....
Alright thoughts and opinions are welcome at this point!
Thanks and God bless!
P.S. Can I keep amphibians like geckos and fire bellied toads in a tank with fish?
P.P.S. I am also considering Dwarf Puffer fish. Could they coexist with a few 3 inch catfish?

what's wrong with a bristelnose pleco in a 20 gallon? I think the albino varieties stay smaller as well.No pleco belongs in a 20 gallon honestly. ".

With plecos, it's not about size, but bio load. They are super super messy!
