Hey guys! So i finally got my 50 gallon tank setup. I have a marineland c-220 on it and my nitrogen cycle is almost complete. It's moderately planted as you can see in the picture. I'll be adding a cap of black sand soon on top of the flourite as I don't really like the color. I'm trying to pick a simple but fun community tank. I really love the look of black fish so what I was thinking was something like this...
5- Black Corys
5- Black Mollies (females only)
5- Guppies (males only and I believe I know a place where I can find the black ones)
Now I also would love to add Glass Catfish and Khuli Loaches but I don't know how many I can add (if any) without over stocking because I know that they like big groups. If someone could give me an estimate then that would be cool :) thank you!

Nice setup! Not sure about the glass cats, but I'd start out with 6 kuhlis. Is that moss wrapped cholla wood (in the sets of 3)? The kuhlis will probably dig that and the hiding spaces in the DW on the right side.

Beautiful tank! I would up the cories up to at least 10, and with a tank that size you could do that and keep the guppies and mollies at the same number. Then after you up the cory group to 10, I would bring the Kuhli's down to 5. That's just what I would do :).
