20gal redo journal

Ok 20gal tank started like this
It got some white fuzzy stuff growing in it so I will be tearing it apart and redoing it with sand instead of the gravel. I don't know what decorations will stay and what will go (coon skull is staying). Same with the fish.
Current fish;
3 kuhli loaches
6 albino corys
2 albino skirted tetras
3 black skirted tetras
2 dalmation mollys
2 sunset platty adults
4 sunset platty fry/juvy sized


I'm open for suggestions. I don't have much choice on plants in this tank, its low light. So I don't think I will be enriching the sand at all. I could throw some wood in there or just stay with the stones.....

I will keep yall updated with pics.

Shells and the coon skull would make the water too hard I would think. The coon skull is getting quite soft. I hope it doesn't fall apart while I'm moving it.


I live In FL why would I want shell in my tank.... :lol:

What about some rare plecos?

Like what kind? I would want something that would fit in the tank for its whole life.
I think the skirted tetras would stay. The tiger barbs in my 75g would pick on them too much.
I'm up in the air on leaving the corys and kuhlis in this tank or moving them to the 75g. The 75g has 2 black kuhlis and 10?ish various corys..... Would moving them over make the 75g too crowded on the bottom?

Ahhhh English please I need laymen's terms not breeder terms idk what all the numbers and letters mean :shock:

all plecos are given an L# before they are scientifically identitfied. like L201 = inpector pleco

inspectore pleco


Royal please not there are like 3 variants i think


gold nugget. there are 3 varients for sure.


Bristlenose pleco


hypans is a family which include the L201, L66, L260, L46 and more.
L46 zebra =$$$


L66 tiger tiger


L260 = Queen Arabesque Pleco


longfin albino bristlenose pleco.

i have them all but the L46 zebra and the gold nuggets. i also have some L204 flash plecos which stay small. and L200 green phantom pleco. also blue phantum L128(i dont have blue phantom althouggh i have ordered them twice and one time i got ntohign and no refund and the other time i got a green one.)

L204



L200


L128

Darnit..... I should have pick up one of those fellows for house with my Gold Nugget.

L200
L128 are nice.

longfin albino bristlenose pleco's look cool. How much do those go for?
Can you give me stats on the ones you have (max size, temp, aggressiveness, ect) I may be up for a trade for the shells

I may also want a strange one in the future for my 55gal

i only have a trio that i am breeding. they laid eggs one time but the male ate them all lol. they are not aggressive and should be kept with community fish. they love veggies and algea but mine seem to like brime.

max size is like 5 - 6"

How about, inspector pleco, zebra tiger or queen?

the king and queen are on the do not export list. almost impossible to find. the inpectors online go for like 20 i think and 40 in the stores. i dont really have any plecos for sell.

Oh ok
Well keep me in mind if your lucky with the albino long finned dudes

one or 2 of those would be perfect for my 55gal. I'm planning to get all oddballs in there. What would you sell the babys for?

I like the L200

Very true. I wish you luck and keep me in mind if they do
