My first real fish post=Stocking question!

[thejasteam]

So in my future 20 gallon (I'm set on the one I want) I would like to double check my stocking plan. 3 male guppies (my sister had a 5 gallon and wants to get rid of them) A school of cories, but I'm not sure how many will fit. And a school of tetras but I'm not sure what kind... Any recommendations? ALSO it would be cycled before adding any fish. Thanks!

Is it going to be a 20 high or a 20 long?

 

[thejasteam]

probably a tall. I don't really know if the long would fit very well in the spot it's going in.

A high is 24x12x16.
A long is 30x12x12.

The long will have more floor space allowing for an extra Cory or two. It also has a bit more horizontal swimming space which is good for active fish.
