Yah I do agree that the parasite concentration is going to be high but I think 20 gallon, particularly the long one, is not small for sixline. I have loads of caves (which is, as far as I know, more important for a happy sixline since they love exploring) and the length is also fine for it. Obviously the bigger the better but I think 20L wont stress the fish.

Once again, I might be wrong since I am all new to this hobby. I am just using my logic to see the extend of what's right and whats wrong
