Hi all!
I am new to this forum, and to aquariums and fish keeping in general.
For years I've wanted to own fish, specifically a planted tank as I love plants!
My friend kindly gave me her unused tank which is L 60cm x D 30cm x H 40cm, so I believe around 20 gallon.
I appreciate that setting up an aquarium isn't cheap, and having done some research I am learning this!
The first thing I want to do is decide on my future fish.
I've joined another forum who have been super helpful, and given some great advice.
Unfortunately, it seems a lot of the fish I'd like to own, won't be suitable due to either/ both the tank size, and the hardness of the water where I live (West London).
I really like the plecos/ cat fish and khuli loaches (I like slightly weirder looking fish!).
I wandered if anyone else living in London could suggest any fish they've had success with that would be suitable for a 20 gallon tank, and hard water.
Thanks so much all!
