20 long stocking ideas

lol, sorry. I just realized you said "either otos or danios" but I read "8 otos or danios/" Oops. Ignore that part.

I just moved the rams into the 20 gallon from QT and they are doing great! Now I have to decide what else to get.

I am on my way to the LFS. I am thinking of getting 6 neon tetras and one more glowlight tetra. What do you think? Could I still get otto's or cories after that?

Or should I get a school of some kind of Danio?

Personally, I would get danios rather than neons. Since danios school higher in the tank, they would make it look more balanced.
Otos would still be fine IMO. If you want corys, I only suggest only getting like 3-4 and then keeping an eye our for nipped fins from the rams. Since your rams seem to be a pair, you can't be usre if they will be ok with corys down there or not.

OK, thanks... the LFS was out of neon and glowlight tetras today anyways... I will get ottos... but how many should I get? and I think if I get danios, I will either get purple passion or celestial pearl danios.

I would choose the purple passion danios if I was you. The cpd can sometimes be a little shy around larger fish.
A trio of otos would be fine.
