Fighting conch's list a minimum tank of 100G.....This site offers a Little Bear Conch that would be suitable for a 20G...I have one in my 29
I have 4 Fighting conch in my 225...I WOULD NOT even attempt to put in in a 20G

something I forgot to add I have some small hermits.
will the couch eat them?
My couch only eats the quarters that fall out of my pockets.
A Fighting Conch is a detrivore/herbivore, they cannot eat any type of animal.

on most other sites fighting conchs are listed as strombus alatus which i think this site is calling the little bear. hopefully the plan all along was to add the smaller conch and it was a mix up in nomenclature.
ive read for fighting conchs, or little bears, you can stock them at 1/square foot of substrate. they dont really climb the rocks too much so discount that from your calculation.

Actually this site has both the fighting conch, and the little bear....I have them, and they are not the same thing. The fighing conch's are in my 225G...they came over 3" big
The Little bears are in all 3 tanks, but they are about 1 - 1/2"...
The fighting conch have stayed on the sand, or under the sand
The Little Bears DO climb rock, and they actually climb glass too
