Hi! I am hoping to get a 20 gallon tank and was wanting some suggestions with ideas for stocking the tank. I'm pretty sure the list I have now would be an overstocked tank but if anyone had suggestions for how to change it and make it better I would really appreciate it.
Here it is:
-6 cory catfish
-6 zebra danios
-6 ember tetras
-3 or 4 platys
-3 or 4 guppies
-3-5 mystery snails
 
Thanks! I have used aqadvisor before, I would like to get some more opinions also.
 
Probably be a little overstocked. I’d leave our either the guppies and mollies or the danios
 
20g long or 20g high? Sounds like a bit much for a 20g high, especially since your livebearers will likely be reproducing. I would cut back a bit, at least to start with.
Also, mystery snails are serious poop factories. Start with 1 or 2.
 
Ok, after doing some more research, I have discovered that I would like a dwarf gourami. I dropped the ember tetras to make room. Here's my new list. Would it work?
-6 corydoras
-4 zebra danios(I already have them but they're in a small tank and I want to move them)
-4 guppies
-1 dwarf gourami
-2 mystery snails
