#10long

I love aquariums, and I love the idea of a huge beautiful tank with a colorful and active and compatible community, but at the same time, I know I have personal limits.

As in monetary and energy limits.

So the maximum tank size I would probably feel comfortable with keeping is probably a 30gLong, absolute maximum, and my 10g and two 5gs for bettas. Because I will never abandon bettas. Ever.

But I’m thinking of what I would put in a 20g Long, as a family friend has one that is sitting unused in his basement and suggested one time that I put it to use >.> I have no idea whether that offer is still on the table or not, but if it is I want to do some research on what I would want to put in it BEFORE I make any rash decisions.

First of all, what should I get for it? I believe it has a hang-on-the-back filter, and I’m not sure if it has a heater or not.

I would like to use a sponge filter, as I have heard a lot of good things about it. Also a bubbler of some sort worked into the decorations would be optimal, and a good heater. Any recommendations on those?

And then the fun part…. The fish!(/invertebrates/etc etc)

I must preface this with: I do not know anything about these fish.

They are just freshwater fish I found and like so please don’t hate me

So in order of what I would love to have first:

Kuhli Loach (Noodles >.>)

Dwarf Puffer Fish

White Cloud Mountain Minnows

Cherry Barb

Red Tailed Black Shark

Blue Acara

Yo yo Loach

Neon Tetra

Rummy Nose Tetra

Opaline Gourami

Harlequin Rasbora

Danios

Also snails if possible, I really like snails >.>
