Stocking a 20 Gallon Tank
Hi,
I have had a 20 gallon freshwater tank for the past six months, and I have to say that none of the fish I’ve owned have died on me (yet). I have gotten very good at performing weekly water changes and testing the water parameters on a continual basis. However, I am concerned about the amount of fish I currently have in my tank. At this point, I have the tank stocked with 6 Giant Danios and 2 Chinese Algae Eaters. I read somewhere that the Danios do better when they are in groups of 6 or more, which is why I have 6 of them. The Danios seem to be getting along alright with each other. They just swim around together in a school and do their own thing. The 2 Chinese Algae Eaters seem to be getting along well with the Danios, but not always with each other. A few of the Danios have grown quite big (about 2 inches or so), so I am concerned that they may not have enough room to swim around. Should I consider purchasing a bigger tank even though the fish seem healthy, are eating, and getting along well?
Thanks, Jim
