My cycle is nearly complete, and still unsure of what to stalk with. Im interested for bottom dwellers 3 khuli loachs, but im unsure if I have hard or soft water. Other than that, kinda thinking of a school of some cardinal tetras, and a dwarf gourmi, not sure what else.
 
Cardinal tetras are delicate. Neon tetras would be better. Pygmy cories are another good option for a bottom dweller.
 
usually fish will adjust to the hardness of your water, as long as it's consistent it's usually fine unless you are going with sensitive fish such as discus.

I would up the kuhlii to 4 or 5. They are shoaling fish and would probably do better with a couple more.

What type of filtration do you have?

What is your substrate. Depending on what you have some dwarf corys may be a better option. Kuhliis generally do best with sand or a small gravel I believe.

To go with the DG and cardinals(and both corys and kuhlii) - platy, harliquin rasbora, rummy nose and silver tip tetra are a few of my favs.

My current 20 gal is running 300 GPH and is stocked with 1 sunset DG, 5 neons, 5 lamb chop rasbora and 4 platy(3 mickey mouse and 1 red wag). I love all the color variations and activity levels going on in this tank. The schoolers don't school tightly though so if you want this I would suggest sticking with 1 larger school over 2 smaller ones.
