Hi, I currently have a 10 gal with 2 zebra danios and 2 cory catfish. It's been up and running for almost 3 years. I recently got a new 20 gal tall tank and I am getting close to the end of my fishless cycle.
I want to move the 4 fish over to the new tank and add some more eventually over time.
I have a Top Fin power filter 20 (in the 20 gal now) and an Aqua Tech 5-15 in the 10 gal. Would I want to run both filters ? Will this list make the tank over stocked ?
I've read that the danios can pester the Gourami so I'm not sure what to believe. Sorry for all the questions.
I just started getting into this more, but unfortunately, I really can’t go bigger than a 20 gal right now.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks.
6 x Zebra Danio (Danio rerio)
2 x Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
1 x Red Cherry Shrimp (Neocaridina heteropoda)
3 x Dwarf Cory (Corydoras hastatus)
1 x Dwarf Gourami (Colisa lalia)

You're stock is fine but alittle weird.

6 x Zebra Danio (Danio rerio) GOOD
2 x Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) If you get a male and female the male will pester the female to death.
1 x Red Cherry Shrimp (Neocaridina heteropoda) Will possibly get eaten.
3 x Dwarf Cory (Corydoras hastatus) GOOD
1 x Dwarf Gourami (Colisa lalia) Sort-of odd one out of the bunch. IMO

If you want shrimp and plenty of fish this is what I would do.

10 x Zebra Danio (Danio rerio)
4 x Dwarf Cory (Corydoras hastatus)
As many Amano Shrimp as you can afford. Amano shrimp are much larger than Red Cherry Shrimp so no worry about them getting eaten.
