I would say they all are pretty small fish to me

Yea, they are, but I'm going to put this cool neon theme, and I do want small fish so I can put more but smaller instead of less but bigger, or do you think I can add a dwarf gourami to this?

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

So, anybody else have any thoughts?

 

[masterfish]

Would u think the gourami would match the theme? Also it seems like you have groups of certain fish that would be the only one of its kind and i your tank will start to get crowded

What would be one of its kind, if I will remove anything(as a matter of fact I am) are the guppies, so subtract the guppies from the list

 

[masterfish]

Would you just be getting one gourami? And ive never had experience withs guppys but are they bad to have?

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Well, guppies are the ones that have the biggest bioload of these fish, and they reproduce like rabbits!

 

[masterfish]

Theyre colors look awesome but thats what everyone is saying

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Yea, I'll just be adding one gourami

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Yea, nice, but not really with the theme, I could substitute them for one or two dwarf gouramis

 

[masterfish]

That would work

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

That would work

Ok thanks, so
5 neon tetras
5 cherry barbs
4 kuhli loaches
2 dwarf gouramis
12 ghost shrimp
2 otos
This would work?

 

[masterfish]

Yeah vut you would have to do water changes alot though

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Yea, I'm putting a 30 gallon filter, and I'm doing weekly 20% water changes

 

[masterfish]

Yup your good then

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Ok, thanks a lot!

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Anybody else have an opinion?

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Anyone?

Stick to one DG. DGs are cousins to bettas so they have a similar tendency to become very aggressive/territorial around others of the same species, particularly if they are both males (and most stores mainly sell the more colorful males). Also something around 40% weekly PWCs would be better.
