Hi,
So in my 20g Community I have the following fish:

x6 Neon Tetras
x5 Orange Von Rio Flame Tetras
x4 Julii Cories
x3 Guppies
x2 Zebra Nerite Snails

According to AqAdvisor, my tank is at 96%.* I would like to take the opportunity to add a fish or two to one of the schools (or shoal). I don't want to add any more snails or Guppies, so that leaves the Neons, Rios, and Cories.

Which school/shoal do you think I should add to? Opinions/suggestions appreciated. :)

*P.S. I understand that AqAdvisor can be conservative and water changes/filter/personal expertise should be taken into consideration but I have overtime figured out what I am comfortable with and what works best for me, which is a tank at or just under AqAdvisor's 100%.

Tetras or corries I would do neons cause I love the look of schoaling neons but the corries would love more friends

What filter are you running?

I would add one more von rio. If it's a 20L you could add 2 more julii, but if it's a 20H I would probably stick with the 4.

It's a 20H. And I am using an AquaClear 30... I can't remember but I believe I am at a 99-105% filter capacity, so looks good. Also, I do a 40% (give or take a gallon) PWC each week.
