20 gallon long

[Beanizzle]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i am in the middle of cycling a 20 gallon long that is planted(not heavily)

thinking about going with this combo:

6 black skirt tetras
4 upside-down cats
2 kribs

i would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions...tia

Is the upside down cat supposed to be a synodontis species ?
If it is, I dont think u can house all of them inside as they can get very teritorial and not to mention...quite large

[Beanizzle]

Synodontis nigriventris

from my research it seems they would only get to be about 4 inches maximum, and they are very peaceful fish unless paired with large cichlids, which kribs are not

[standoyo]

way too many 4" cats imo, one maybe...how about corys?
kribs are nice...

[Baby Neon]

yeah cories are a good alternative! and there is such a huge variety of them you wont have much trouble finding ones that'll look great in your tank!

Yup...corydoras and loaches make a better choice than syns. They have a potential to get aggresive regardless of how some claim them to be docile.
