Hi! Can u guys help me in terms of stocking my freshwater 20G tank.

-its heavily planted
-i have the submersible filter (one that sucks water)
-its a regular 20g tank.
-it would be great if i see a fry or two survive.

FISH LIST:

Mid to Top:
5~Green Tetras or 4~Glowlight tetra
5~Neon Tetras or Cardinal Tetra
6~Guppies and/or 6~Endlers
6~Baloon Molly

Bottom:
3~Corydora Catfish
3~dwarf oto
6~Red Cherries

-What should i remove? Or decrease in number?
-Can i add them all at once or species by species? If so what fish shld i put first and last?


Any reply is much appreciated!

;)

I'd say you have chosen too many mid to top dwellers. In my opinion balloon mollies are unethical. 3 corys will not be happy. You need at least 5 to 6. I'd pick one group of fish from each list and up the number of specimens and call it a day. I would not add them all at once. Is your tank cycled? Brand and model of filter would be helpful as well. Some work much better than others.

Sorry no one replied sooner :)

I agree with Bren and the balloon mollies.

Balloon mollies are purposely bred for their deformities. These deformities make them more susceptible to disease and they have shorter life spans than normal mollies.
