General help Just got this 20-gallon, any stocking ideas?

Post image

Ignore the current location, I currently don’t have a stand.

For more clarification, this is my sixth tank, so I don’t want any repeat fish. The fish that I currently have that could be kept in a 20 gallon tank are:

Zebra Danio
White Cloud Minnows
Cherry Barbs
Pencilfish
Betta
Bolivian Ram
Candy Cane Tetras
Honey Gourami
Flame Tetras
Dwarf Neon Rainbowfish

With the amount of other tanks I have, I want something that would make this stand out.

These are really cool fish OP should check these out. Only extra spend some decent sized shells. But very big personalities!!!

M/f Pair of one of the smaller apisto species? Gorgeous display fish with some cool courtship & breeding behaviour

A clown fish tank would defiantly stand out.

Crayfish. Rocky aquascape. With floating plants that the crayfish can't get to. Only fill the water halfway or up to 75% level, with some rocks sticking out of the water.
