I know it will be a little cramped but 95 percent of sites said a 20g would do fine... I'll stay on the nitrates. Is this possible??

Anyone??????

As long as the tank isn't crowded with other fish and decoration stuff, you should be alright. Just make sure the fish has swimming room and the water quality stays good.

Hi

I haven't seen that species before, but apparently it can grow up to 6 inches so in my opinion even 20 gallons is too small. Check the link below for more info.

Don't forget to research your fish before you buy. A lot of us fall into this trap

Gold Gourami

I know, but I disagree with that (unless you plan to have one fish in the tank). From my experience a crowded tank will be full of diseases.
