Stocking Ideas

[Denton1000]

Hi, to start off, I'm new here and not positive how things work so if this is in the wrong section or anything, I'm sorry. My 20 gallon half moon aquarium just finished cycling and I'm ready to start stocking. Right now I'm think 1 Dwarf Gourami, 10 Neon Tetras, 3 Sunburst Platies, and 2 or 3 Mystery Snails. If you have any suggestions or other ideas I would love to hear them!

Not yet, I might change my mind but for the time being it will not be

Well i would get ready for weekly 30% water changes , because the bioload is going to be high with no plants to help suck up the extra nutrients from the fish and snails. But you may also have problem s from the from the gourami attacking the platies, but it depends on the gourami.
