Larger fish question.

Hi im just curious i have a 20 gallon tall tank and right now all i have in it is 5 cory cats an just wondering what kind of a larger fish would be ok was thinking of an oscar but figure it would grow to big any ideas? thanks..

I don't think any "large" fish would do well in a 20G. But just get more info, how large did you want?

an oscar needs a 55gallon tank for a single. I wouldn't go over 4" in a 20gal, but it really depends on fish. Perhaps dwarf or gold gouramis or swordtails?

Gouramis would be a good option for a 20g. An oscar is deffinately not a good choice, because of their potentiol size. what about schooling fish ?

thanks for the info! gouramis is something i been thinking of just not sure how many.

1 in a 20 gallon. If you go for a dwarf gourami you could do 2 provided you can find a male AND female.
