okay, so there's this 20 gallon long tank that i LOVE at petsmart. i think it's perfect for a sorority and i love the idea that i have more space to decorate than just up and down like a taller 20 gallon would be. but i have a few questions even though i've been reading as many sorority threads as i can find. ha. right now i only have 1 female and i haven't bought the tank yet but i wanted to find this stuff out first!
so, first off, how many girls can i put in this tank? i've read at least 4 but 6 is better, but for more you should have 2 gallons per female. also, i thought i may want to get a cory catfish or 2. possibly a snail? maybe some ghost shrimp? if they don't eat them haha..
the other thing... i've read that you should put them in according to first the least aggressive to the most aggressive last. how do i know this? by how often they flare?
also, i've noticed mixed things, a lot of people QT their new fish before adding to a tank. but i've also noticed a lot of people who start sororities just get all their fish and add them the same day. should i QT them all? if so, how long?
thanks in advanced for any and all answers!
