Am I Overstocked?

[dluttinger]

So I have a 20 gallon high fish tank
In this aquarium I have :

FISH

- 3 dwarf gourami ( 2 males one female)
-3 velvet swordtails
-3 fancy guppies (mating trio)
-2 cory catfish
-6 neon tetras

PLANTS

-3 annubias nana
-1 aquarium lettuce
-1 hairgrass (3" x 3 ")
-1 spread out moss type plant on driftwood (6" x 6")
-1 small but tall swirly sword thing


Am I overstocked I have a temp set at 77 f.
I have a tetra whisper internal filter
On top I have an aqeon high output t5 lamp.

If more fish could be added, I would like colorfulfish and bottom swimmers

-THANKS!!!!!!

I hopefully want to add a white or blue lobster only if it doesn't torment my fish and kill my plants

The lobster will eat any fish it can catch. I'd be afraid to keep one unless it had its own tank. I actually caught a baby crawfish when I was little (before it even had its shell coloration or anything. about the size of a finger nail.) and introduced it to my fish tank. It did actually survive, and it thrived. It ate tropical fish flakes, dug a hole in the gravel for a cave, and eventually, when it got big enough, it ate all the fish in the tank. Zebra danios, dwarf gourami, and bleeding heart tetras.

The male dwarf gouramis may fight with each other. I'd replace one of the males with another female.

Get more cory cats, they like to be in groups of 6 or more.

Aside from that, your stocking looks fine to me.

so I'm guessing 1 male betta wouldn't get along well in my tank?
and would golden dojo loaches or kuhlis be good?

no dont put a betta fish with other fish it willl attack them. not a good idea.

No, bettas don't get on with gouramis or guppies, I'm afraid.

Dojo/weather loach get too large for a tank that size. Kuhlis would be fine, but I'd get more cories first; they'll be so much happier in a larger shoal, and you'll enjoy them more once they start showing off their natural behaviuor

 

[dluttinger]

are there any other types of colorful fish that are compatable with my tank, fish, and plants?
