Hi guys I've got my 20 gallon long tank ready to be cycled I've done my initial water checks

PH 8.2
KH 196ppm
GH 232ppm using API test kits and GH /KH Kit

I was just after some suggestions on stocking this, I've fallen in love with orange Cory's but I'd love to hear people's suggestions.

Many thanks
 
The aquarium is not Cycled? I ask because you stated the aquarium is ready to be Cycled.
Corydora are great peaceful catfish but some species can be a challenge to keep so do thorough research prior to getting them.
 
No Ive not cycled it yet I just wanted to do my initial base readings I guess my question was more aimed at what species would be better suited to those readings.

Sorry if I didn't clarify
 
okay I got you. Your PH is would be better fit for African or Central American fish imo.
 
Your pH will change over time and settle down. Remember your filter will take 3-8 weeks to cycle before any fish should be added. You can check you pH then and adjust if needed.
