Is a 20L tank OK for two adult ADFs?

[rivkah]

Okay, I am a fish keeper.... a 20L generally means 20 gallon tank, 30"X12"x12"..... I have misread... 20 liter? Oops... too funny...

I am glad that you caught my error. But I do want to add that there are several species of dwarf corys that only grow to less than an inch, which would be fine in a 5g tank. As well as several newly discovered dwarf rasabora or even badis badis, mid tank swimmers, that would also be very happy in a small groud in a 5g tank. Because of the passive nature of ADFs, a small group of small fish can be added. I personally perfer keeping corys with ADFs (as well as a couple of snails) to help scavange with the ADFs miss. And some keep a single male betta with their ADFs with success.

Thank you again for realizing that I misread the "20L" description.

I have five ADF's in 25-liter aquarium. They are very healthy and reproduce often. I am sure that three or four African Dwarf Frogs can live in a 20 liter tank (of course, without fish and with good filtration).

I think the comments/guidelines are more for those that will only do the bare minimum. Those of us that truly like our charges go way above and beyond those minimums. I look at the housing and wonder if I would want to live there... so with plants, planted and floating, hiding places, basically something to do, those guidelines can be stretched just a bit. You are obvisiouly doing everything right.
