Are you asking about 5 gallon tanks or Ember Tetras/Mosquito Rasboras?
I've never kept either of those fish but I do run small tanks.

For my 5 gallon tanks in general, about 20-25W of compact fluorescent
light to grow plants,

I'm addressing only the lighting issue here. By convention most people
use "watts per gallon" but I saw an intersting definition recently,
"watts per cubic foot". With "20" being the right number of watts
per cubic foot.

I like it :-)
