You said this is a five gallon and 20 gallon Plywood build? If I read it righ good job, but my question is why? Why not go big or go home.

sounds like a good mix but like others said, its a bit over stocked. If you plan on doing the maintenance then maybe it'll be ok.. but if you ever leave for an extended period of time, you may have some issues.

What if I lost the Mollies????

that would probably help quite a bit. You can start without the mollies and after your tank is set up and running for a few months, you could potentially put the mollies in there IF it seems things are holding up well.

Thanks, any feed back on my 20 gallon?? Any and all feedback appreciated

make sure that eel you're getting wont harass the loaches or vise versa.. i think i heard somewhere that they may quarrel. I've actually had a hard time keeping more than one mystery snail in my 55 gallon. I dont know what it is about them but if there's two, one always seems to do nothing.. i separated them into diff tanks and now they're both doing wonderfully. so something to watch out for?? The moss may take over the tank and not leave much room for your fish to school depending on how large they get. Maybe get some anubis, it stays low and does well. The anacharis grows quickly with some supplements (like Flourish) and liquid CO2 but quite slow in my tank without it. When it branches, wait a bit before pruning then replant the branch. Other than that I think your stocking numbers are ok. Just double check the length of the loaches and cats to make sure they wont outgrow your tank too quickly.

I agree, even with heavy planting and weekley water changes, sorry.

The loaches are rated for a ten gallon, w/ a max number of 3 in a 10, Also, Is there any reason I could not use reptile decor in my aquarium, I ask this because there are some pretty pieces of grape driftwood at my lps and are in the rept. setcion

they should be fine unless they've been treated with something.. i dont know about anything in the reptile world but the wood should just be.. well.. wood. although some may degrade in water faster than others...
