I have had my 50 gallon aquarium set up for about 6 months now. I have stocked it almost fully, however I think it looks quite busy. Some of my fish are to be rehomed in the next few days. I want natural looking fish and big groups if possible. My idea for stocking was:

3 x Pearl Gourami
6 x Three Lined Corydoras
8 x Bleeding Heart Tetra
4-6 x Yoyo Loaches
2 x Bolivian Rams
6 x Ottos


Filter - Fluval U4 Internal (I plan to add another filter soon)
50% PWC Per week

That is including some of the fish I already have. The fish I aready have are highlighted in red.

My issue is the Yoyo Loaches. I adore yoyo loaches, and will be getting some off a friend. I am concerned about my cories. Would that be overloading the bottom? Reccomended tank size seems to vary, and my tank size seems to be the minimum (Bottom measurements are 100x40cm.) Is there a way I can make them work?

Does that stocking sound ok?

Thanks
