3 schools in a 20 gallon?

[amateuraquaria]

Hi everyone.

Is a 20 gallon aquarium enough to accommodate 3 schools of fish along with other community fish?

For example, is it fine to have:
1 male betta
2 platies
6 neon tetras
6 harlequin rasboras
4 pep cories

Or is that too much? What can I do to make it good if it is the latter?

Thanks y'all

That would be fine. I would up the peppers to 6. Just stay on top of the water quality.

Have a backup plan if the betta lashes out on tankmates, as they are hit and miss in communities. Otherwise, the stock looks good.

Thanks for mentioning that I completely forgot.
