Future Stocking List 20g

[Kittysnax]

So far this is what I have come up with:

1 pair of rams (GBR or Goldens)
3 ottos (I have 2 already)
x amount of rummynose tetras(they are my favorite, not sure on a good number, but Im thinking 12 or so?)
1 pair of dwarf plecos (unknown species, need opinions)
3-5 cory cats. (Unknown species, probably emeralds or albinos)
and
maybe 1-2 dwarf gouramis...i unno on that one yet
Id really like to have some yellow, CrystalRS, Cherry, or Snowball shrimp as well. (only 1 species)

Green are things i KNOW i want/will get, purple are things I dont know about compatability, and red im kinda "meh' about. Chances are slim I will go through with those. I might just get 1 BNPleco. Im thinkin of focussing more on corys as I like the lil buggers.

I will have the tank heavily planted before I start introducing more fish. I will prolly add another otto next, cause I realized they prefer a school instead of 1-2 right after I put them in the tank. /facepalm

but lemme know what ya think. more? less? diff things? :biggrin:
edit: OH and I forgot....the guy on Aquabid says these arent tattooed or dyed, but I have never seen one like this before. On his site he has green and red ones so I wanna just make sure cause I think the Orange one listed is VERY pretty!

I'd skip on the plecos if you're going to have ottos. Those Cories also come in green, very neat fish.

Yes, they are pretty! They've been on my wishlist for a while now. I, too, asked a guy who I saw selling them if they were dyed or tattooed, and couldn't believe that they were natural! Awesome looking fish.

If you can afford it, I would try to get more than 5 of whatever species of Cory you decide on. They are so much fun to watch in larger groups!

Just to make sure, this is a 20H, right? 24" long?

those are really awesome cory's!

Those Rams will eat shrimp. You might want to get a large population of shrimp established before introducing the Rams.

With 12 rummynose, I think you will be overstocked.

Yea its a 20H. The more I think about it I might go this route:

3 Ottos
5 corys (same species)
6-8 rummynose
555555555555 golllllllddd riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings (lol)
and either: a pair of rams OR 12 undecided shrimps

also note it will be heavily planted and filtered.
