20 Gallon Long Stocking

[Makaveli]

I'm putting together a 20 gallon long glofish aquarium and am using aqadvisor for stocking. I'm running an aquaclear 70 (300 gph) filter for it. I was thinking of going for about 6-8 danios and 6-8 tetras..but according to aqadvisor it says I'd be safe with 8 danios, 8 tetras, AND 6 cory's. Here's the image.

It shows my filtration is still at about 190%. Does this sound right to you guys? Just looking for some opinions before I decide on what to get. The 8/8/6 setup would be awesome if it really is possible. Any input is greatly appreciated!

I don't know what size loxozonus get to, but an AC70 is a *lot* of filtration on a 20-long. I suspect you'll discover you have to turn the flow down to keep the fish from being blown around. But, yeah, with that filter, I bet you could handle 8/8/6 with no problem.

I was a little unsure with the cory options given on aqadvisor, but the cory's I'd be getting would definitely be the smaller ones like the panda's/peppered. Thanks for the input

Updated original post with panda cory's. Looks even better now as far as stocking/filtration % goes. Panda's are very likely what I'd go with.

If you're looking at corys consider the pygmy varieties. They are much smaller and you could increase your school size.
