Cheap ricordea or zoas
 
Anyone from Either Leduc Wetaskiwin Ponoka Or Edmonton, have small ricordea or zoa frags for my 20 gallon nano? And what are you charging?

Do you sell fish as well? I'm "price shopping" :)
Looking for 1 bangai cardinal
1 pygmie angel of some sort
a few chromis
A green spotted mandarin that will eat live and frozen/flake foods
Yasha Goby
and what ever else I come across

I try not to preach, but I hope you are not planning to put all that in a 20 gallon.
I don't know of any dwarf angel that would do well in that small of tank.
2 or 3 small fish Max in a 20 gallon IMO (a bit more depending on the fish)

well not to argue but I have spoken to about 2 dozen people that would disagree, and fyi, I have a 20 gallon sump running, to accomidate for high bioloads. but no I am not necessarily putting it all in, just looking for certain fish and the prices, to make a choice from there. but thanks.

I am not sure what 2 dozen people would disagree with what I said.
I don't know many knowledgable people that would say you can put 6 - 8 fish or more fish in a 20 gallon, sump or not. (which is the numbers I assumed you might be looking at from your post)
however, totally your choice and if you aren't intending to put all the fish mentioned in tank, all the better.
but that is the great thing about this board, there are lots of opinions.
I will keep further ones to myself. good luck
and welcome to the board.

I doubt that they are on this site though.

in your sump, are you planning macro algaes? are you planning mangroves? are you planning a skimmer? Biopellets?

It's not bioload that Neil is concerned about, it is the living space, and movement of the fish.

The yasha whould be ok, the mandarin would be tough (unless you have one eating frozen or pellets like mine), chromis are schooling fish (therefore requiring lotsa space to swim around), the pygmy ange would be kinda ok (if it is a cherub).

The fish will fight in a comfined space, or at least stress the hell out of each other.

just a few suggestions.

howdy20012002 11-09-2011 05:12 AM

i wasn't being scarcastic, I was trying to give you advice.
individually, these fish might be fine.(pygmy, chromis questionable)
however, together, IMO, they wouldn't be. (fish like having their own spaces, hard to do in 2 feet of space)
but sounds like you don't need or want my advice, so I will keep it to myself.
thanks
Neal
