Today I bought a dwarf gourami and two albino Cory cats. I've never had Cory cats but I'm eager to do the research while they acclimate. They're in my 20 gal planted tank. So I hope they will do well. Any advice or just other stories please share. Thanks.

The best time to do species research is PRIOR to purchase. I agree that the corys need a larger group. If you're cramped for space in your tank, 3 corys would do, but 5 would be happier.

Then again we wouldn't have many questions to answer lol
thats sage advice. and i usually do, but this morning i was reading the "whats your impulse buy?" thread and i think it stuck with me. Also another excuse is that i thought i saw SAE but they turned to be flying foxes. but i went to aqadvisor.com and figured out i can add four more. thanks for the advice though.

I already had one in my tank when I got it. So has this little fella been really lonely?

I have one in 17 g and he is the happiest I've seen him but don't try it I think he is very special
I took your advice and bought four more Cory cats. I also went ahead and bought 4 more white clouds and neon tetras so that way I'd have 5 of each. I had larger schools but due to a recent battle with BBA I lost some. So now I'm thinking my tank might be overstocked. My filter is a cascade 150 and should provide enough filtration. It's only a 20 gal. My question now is should I move the neons to my ten gal. I'm worried my gourami is around too many schooling fish. Thanks you guys.

What's the full list of your fish at this point?

If this is a 20, you're borderline overstocked. You'd have to be sure to keep up with your water changes. I don't think you'd have to move anybody at this point, but time will tell.
