Im setting up my 20 gallon tanks soon.. and i am going to put in a few (3 or mabye 4) plants. But my question is, can i add more plants later and what is the best way to do this without disturbing the fish

well you can add as many plants as you like if you add more the fish will just go in hide in a cave until your hand is out of the tank.

Yeah, that's right. You disturb the fish when doing a water change too, so it really isn't anything when adding new plants. It gives the fish more places to hide and play in.

Its best to plant heavy rather than add one or two plants.

You can always add plants later. But make sure you don't overcrowd the tank and don't add in a whole bunch at once (learning from shev's experiece)
