Today I am transferring my cichlids to a bigger tank. I want to do a community with the 20. I was thinking 7 neon tetras, 2 dwarf gouramis, a Bolivian ram. Thought? Opinions? Let me know maybe different fish to add

I would only do 1 dg, but that's just me. Besides that if you got rid of the gourami you could possibly squeeze in one small school of a smaller fish like CPDs, endlers, chili rasboras, harlequin rasboras, espei rasboras, etc. But I think that it looks good:)
 
Agreed, more then one and your heading for problems. One dg an a pair of Rams Would be good, and as above another small school u might get away with depending on your filtration.
 
All set up! :). 4 tiger barbs, 6 neon tetras, 7 zebra danios, emerald Cory, pleco, dwarf gourami, and Bolivian ram.

Tiger barbs and emerald cories shouldn't be in a 20 long. Emerald cories (brochis splendins) get HUGE... I have some in a 150g. They need to be in groups, and definitely in a bigger tank. Tiger barbs also do better in bigger groups, and are quite active.
 
Don't worry bro, they are juvenile. I will upgrade when necessary :)
