Aquarium Advice Regular
I've got a 20 gallon (tall) tank with sand.
I've currently got a rather large orange gourami (4' or more) that the kids like, 2 silver dollar fish, and a pleco that's 4 to 5 inches long. I've found a local store that will take "donations." The corporate stores won't. So I'm considering "donating" the pleco and the 2 silver dollar fish.
I need some tank cleaners, and I'd like a middle or top of the tank fish. One of my daughters has decided she loves black mollies. Would 4 cory catfish, 4 black mollies, and the orange gourami ("Ursula" since she has tentacles) be too much for a tank this size? I'm not really sure how many of each type to get; I've read that mollies and cories do better in schools.
I wanted some shrimp, but I think I'll be putting that off for a few months.
