Since posting this video I'd like to ammend my recommendation for ropefish. I have come to realise ropefish grow much larger and thus have much higher demand for space than I otherwise thought. Instead I would recommend something like a groupn of khuli loaches for that eel-like slithery action. Apologies for my mistake
Thanks for the spooky tank idea, Blake! I have all things spooky & didn't even think ONCE about a spooky tank set up! 😲 Now, I'm off to research more "spooky" fish. 😂
Great choices of fish! These species are indeed unique and would bring so much color, variety, and activity to a 20-gallon tank. Thanks for putting this list together
Paradise fish can tolerate very low temperatures. I have some of mine in outside tubs all year round. Even when the temperatures fall below 5c and ice collects on surface i leave them out. No losses so far and they breed as water warms.
You talking about spooky fish tank being “seasonal” and me cackling at the fact that I’m looking at stocking options for my 20gal long I can make super spooky with red root floaters that look like veins, driftwood set up to look like a rib cage, ghost shrimp… ect… I set up a skull island 5gal for my black crowtail Betta I named Deadly nightshade. I want the spooky ALWAYS!
You describe Paradise Fish as easy to find. I have never seen them in my 30 years of skulking around fish stores. I have a theory about this. I live in the Midwest U.S.A., and I assume that a lot of fish species, if available at all, rarely are shipped outside of the coastal regions of the U.S.
I live in Australia so im not sure about different regions of the usa but i just looked at dans fish and theres plenty available dansfish.com/catalog.dive/40
Do you prefer standard 20 gallons or 20 gallon longs? I have struggled to find 20 gallon long aquariums in Australia, do you know some brands which make them?
Also I regularly make an effort to include temps in f and c and water in g and L but vast majority of people searching for aquarium videos use imperial so those will be in the title.
I don’t think you understand majority of RUclips views come from North America. Just cause you’re in Australia doesn’t mean the 400k others are. Use a google conversion calculator

This is by far the best fish list I've seen on youtube . Thank you for this absolute gem of a video!
Wow, thank you!

Go for it!
Same, I was looking for stocking ideas for my 20gal long and I already wanted the spooky theme
the indian glass fish and common ghost shrimp are both clear. any other clear aquatic animals?

Thanks 👍
Wow I didn’t realize their were so many cool lil fish I always get cichlids or tank busters

Great video! Currently I only have a 5 gallon nano tank, but I keep eyeing 20-30 gal tanks. I might have to do it soon.
I’m actually thinking of making a wild type betta tank Blake great video and lots of great choices of fish mate🙂👍🏻
Really cool choice's thanks for sharing 💗✌️👍💯

Whichever one is 60cm long, 31cm wide, 35cm high
or you could make your own custom size tank with 5 pieces of glass and a tube of silicone.
make you feel at home to see the beautiful small fish, friends
Thanks for visiting
Some choice pick for sure there mate.
Good choices
Any idea's where to get a ropefish in Australia?
There were a few around a few years ago but $1000 each. Have to be on the lookout on facebook groups
@@BlakesAquatics thanks Blakerino, I haven't seen them around.
Shout out to the Glass Cats. Great schooling fish, super cool addition.
am I not wrong in thinking the sparkling gourami and croaking gourami are two different type of fish. or do sparkling gourami's still croak as well.
Both croak 😄
Show the fish more lol but cool vid
Will do
It’s Australia…. please use metric 😂
We dont have standardised tank sizes for the title.. doesnt have the same ability to be found during seaech if I put fish for an 80L
@@BlakesAquatics I wonder why people usually only recognise tank sizes in gallons :)
@@Chsieyfnd I find it hard to find videos from fish keepers specifically aquascapers that aren’t in metric. I love it when they have both
Also I regularly make an effort to include temps in f and c and water in g and L but vast majority of people searching for aquarium videos use imperial so those will be in the title.
