We have a i think 20 gallon filter in the basement and i want to bring it up and put fish in it but my grandmom and mom said "We've done this before." No more fish... the fish died like 2 weeks later since we had like 3 or 4 gold fish in just a 20 gallon tank. My mom and grandmom just don't have any patience. How can i let them get fish? I'm thinking about getting THREE FEMALE bettas. (not yelling)
Would that be a good idea and will they fight? I just think it's a waste to see a 20 gallon fish tank with a really nice stand, filter, hood, light etc. just sit in a basement and not be used. Please help...
My mom also thinks it's "too hard to clean the tank"
Help here... my mom knows i take care of animals very well,
I have a betta fish (male) in a 5 gallon filtered and heated tank, i have a dog, cat, and 2 female guinea pigs. I take care and treat my animals well. I wish my mom and grandmom wouldn't give up so quickly and just give me a chance. The last time they used the tank was about 5, 6, or 7 years ago and i was young...
I just have one more question, the filter is a AquaClear 150 filter... if you could please give me a link of what kind of filter cartridge and carbon to get from Petco for the filter. That would be great!
So my questions are, How do i get my guardians to say yes to fish? Would 3 female bettas get along good, if not.. are there any other fish that would do great in a 20 gallon tank and if tropical fish, heated? My last but not question is, what kind of filter cartridges and or carbon do i use for the pretty old Aquaclear 150 filter from Petco? Does Petco even sell them or cartridges/carbons that would fit in the filter? Thanks so much for your help!
Here's a picture of the filter:

(Not sure if it'll help)
And for stocking fish, please no schooling fish that need 6+ fish...I want maybe 3-5 fish, 6 at the max.
