Hi How this for a 20g US or 76L?

4 Homeycone Dwarf Gouramis
3 Large Bronze Cory Catfish
4 Hatchets
4 Red Eye Tetras
1 Trapdor Snail
1 Mystery Snail


If it is over stocked I plan to put the 4 Red Eye Tetras in my 10g.
 
You are overstocked. Are you familiar with the 1 US gallon to 1 inch of fish theory? If you add the maximum sizes of all those fish together you will come to something like 40 inches.

not always bad, with shooling fish it helps make them feel safe aslong as you have adiquite filtration.
and thats a basic rule, you can get 40 inches of small shooling fish in that tank aslong as they produce little waste. but in a community use the 1" of fish per gallon
but yeah thats overstocked for a community i recon you have about 34" of fish in there, aslong as you do pleanty of water changes like 20% twice weekly and have adiquite filtration then you shoud be okay
