USA,
20 gallons

1 blue gourami
1 gold gourami
1 brislenose pleco
4 platties
5 danios
5 tetras- pristillas
2 guppies
6 corydoras cat fish
1 bolivian ram

what would be best to leave out? or would that be good. I know thats alot of fish, but it has a bio wheel filter. I want to compine the tanks.

i dont have 2 of the danios, 1 ram, and 3 of the cories, but i do want to get them.
 
The only two things I would change would be to get a pair of Rams rather than just one. They do like their own company and will swim around together.
And you may have problems with the Gouramis. Sometimes males get get a stress on with each other and in a tank of that size they will not have anywhere to go. If you really want to have Gouramis I'd go for a pair of Honey's. Nice little, peacefull fish and quite underated in my opinion.

With good, regular maintence and providing you introduce the fish slowly I dont think you'll have any problems ;)

Good luck :D
 
i have all the fish alreafy, except the ones listed. the gouramis are females, but CJ acts like a male, lol.
 
If the Gouramis get on already there shouldnt be any problems. If the fish are going to a smaller tank this may affect things though and may be something to bare in mind.
;)
 
nope, its larger then what theyre in now.
 
I would not put a bristlenose in there (create too much waste for that size of tank and you'll be overcrowding the bottom), I also think you're overcrowding the middle/top level with so many shoaling fish. I'd leave out a group of those too. 20 gallons is not much, bio-wheel or not.
 
what would you get rid of?

i dont have the rams, or all 6 corries, just want to get them.
