Stocking 20g aquaponics tank?

[Zaphia1]

I am creating this system with the intention of making it a community 20g. It will have more than adequate filtration with a HOB filter and a sponge filter as well as well. Also there will be a power head pumping water the the "grow bed" every 15 min.

This tank is over filtered and an aquaponics tank. From what I've heard you can "overstock" a tank of fish with this kind of set up.

Potential stocking list:

6 neon tetra
6 rummy nose tetra
10 celestial pearl danio
And a few ghost shrimp

What do you think?
Comments? Suggestions?

I would do a school a panda cory cats, just to have something on the bottom, and not just 22 mid level fish.

I thought about that. Do you think as an additional 2-4 maybe 6 fish? Or instead one of the other schools?

Drop the 6 neons and do cory hasbrosus.
Stay small and very active. I feel 20g might be too small for even pandas with the other stock

Ya, of course you could do pygmy cories instead,they are adorable, but pandas usually max out at 1 1/2" and would be fine. Khuli loaches would work too. I dont think you would have to drop the neons. The bioload of the CPD and shrimp are miniscule and the neons and rummys have light bioloads too.

Cool. I thought khuli loaches needed a bigger space...
