I'm looking for suggestions for stocking a 20 gallon long. I'm thinking bare bottom because it will be in an extremely sunny spot. I would love to go planted but I don't have the time right now to tend plants. I know a 20 gallon is small. I would love a larger one but the explanation of why I'm not going bigger is below.
Because of a move & a baby I'm a fish keeper without an aquarium for the first time since I was 7 (with the exception of my 3 Gallon Eclipse Betta Tank, a gift from my fishkeeping husband). I'm dying for a new large tank. We sold our old 55 & 75 gallon hand-me-down tanks in anticipation of getting a new larger tank but before we got one we got the surprise we were pregnant. We tried for a baby for 8 years & had come to the conclusion it just wasn't going to happen, so when we got pregnant we put the new aquarium on hold until the baby was a little older. Now we are trying for baby number 2. I still want to wait on the large tank but I have the perfect spot in my kitchen for a 20 gallon long. If we do it right it will look built in.
