Overstocked for 20gal?

[BHead108]

Is this stocking list okay for a 20 gal
6 rummynoses tetra
5 bleeding heart tetra
6 pristella tetras
1 honey dwarf gourami

Does this sound okay?

Thanks, Bryant

i personally would take out one school. probably the bleeding hearts, as they get the largest.

Seems fine to me, but i would not add more.
But tell me about your honey dwarf, does he bother any fish of vice versa?
Im thinking about getting one.

I agree you should get rid of one school. I think a 20G is only big enough for two schools.

my honey dwarf keeps to himself and never bothers the other fish

honey gouramis are one of the more docile types of gourami... i'm not surprised

 

[bruinsbro1997]

Honey Gouramis are peaceful in most cases. It all depends on the fish. I kept two males together in a tank with no problems. And I had a pair of them that ended up with a dead female. It ALL DEPENDS on the fish.

If it's a 20L I'd keep 3 schools in there, but if it's a 20H I'd take one out and put something small in like a couple of otos.

I've had honey gouramis and never had an issue with them, but like with other anabantids there is a potential for issues among those of the same species or similar.
