I have a 20 long with 6 kuhli loaches and 3 pygmy corys (I had 3 more but they died a few months ago and I haven’t had the chance to get more).

I was wondering—I’m wanting to possibly get a few more of each and possibly either some small tetras or a pair of bolivian rams. Is this something I could do and if so, how many of each?

8 x kuhli loaches
6 x pygmy corys
and
2 x bolivian rams
OR
? x ember teras
 
i would go bolivian rams because i like rams and their coloring and fins but a group of 10-12 embers would also look great. hrm.... this one is really up to you. do you want a more filled and active tank or a bit more "empty" tank with alot of color and some activity?
 
yeah my problem is that i love the busy look of the tetras but the rams are sooo pretty and they seem fun
 
Bolivian Rams are neat, but I'd be concerned about a clash between them and the kuhlis, if the rams breed; they like to build their nests in the bottom part of the tank, where the loaches feed. Embers are small. I might go with a school of 11.
