Hi guys. I want to possibly re-home my two male platies and 7 month old female fancy guppy. I have 5 corydrayas I want to keep. I have a 20 gallon tank. What should I restock with? Or should I just add some different fish here? It's such a lonely looking tank right now. I don't know what to do to make it fuller and give everyone some friends. I do not want breeding and I want to add shrimp for cleaning. Thanks.
 
I'd look at maybe a school of serpae tetras or cherry barbs. They're mid-dwelling and brightly colored and they won't mess with the cories. And neither species is livebearing or particularly messy.
 
A nice school of rummy nose tetras or neon tetras could also be fun. They have great personality and schooling behavior.
 
You have a lot of good choices, some already mentioned. Various small tetras would be great. I have a shoal of 11 neons in a 20g that can be really beautiful when they school tight. A school of rasboras would be pretty, too.
