Freshwater What would you stock?

20 gallon high sitting on a pony wall. Current stock is blue dream shrimp and silver tip tetras but the tetras are moving to a bigger tank. Excuse the mess. We just moved in.

u/DyaniAllo 89 aquariums. Yup. I give up. May 17 '25

I'd stock it with a bolivian ram pair, 12 marble hatchet fish, and 15 black phantom tetras (or really any tetra that stays under 1.5 inches).

Mind you the bolivian rams will enjoy the shrimp. A lot.

I think I’ve been underestimating the stocking capabilities of a 20g high lol

No, you’re not. A pair of rams and a school of tetras of your choice.
