20 Gallon Community Tank help

I think you should look into some freshwater shrimp too. They add a little more wow to a tank, especially if they are red cherry shrimp. They can be sensitive, so you can't medicate fish with them in the tank. Cherry shrimp breed easily and from a mixed gender group youd be set for life pretty much. They look amazing in a planted set up :)

+1. Love cherry shrimp. :D

Also, Maisy - say the way you spelled the cory species out loud. :p I think it's anaeus.

Can't have shrimp. Or male crown tails. >.< My mum thinks they are scary. xD

Thanks a lot for ask the help everyone I appreciate it. I can't wait to get this started. I was thinking of getting some h.c Cuba for my tank as well our another carpeting plant. Would be ok for the corys or would just the sand be better?

I agree with your mom on the shrimp, they are creepy and basically water bugs But male crowntails? Gorgeous!

Naw, shrimp are so cute! If you want creepy, look at Thai Micro-crabs.

Dave - cories will enjoy a carpet plant, but if it isn't properly established they will rip some of it up with their activity.

Omg Bomba you just added micro crabs to my "I need it" list.
Shrimp are pretty cute, but the key is not to look too closely at them. xD
