My 12 Gallon Fluval Edge Aquarium

[TropicaTetras]

Hello   
 
 
My name is Kari ,  I live in Ontario  , I recently had a 6 gallon fluval Edge Aquarium set up , and decided it was too small for the fish I had in it and wanted...   So I purchased the Fluval Edge 12 Gallon,  and I transfered all the fish I had  plus  partial old water and old media from that aquarium to the new one..  The 12 Gallon has been up and running for almost a week now.   I have my tank stocked,   
 
with about  20 small fish,   and live Plants...
 
The fish I have  are  :      3  Harlequin Rasboras
 
                                        3 Black Neon Tetras
 
                                        3 White Cloud Minnows
 
                                        3  Black Phantom Tetras
                                    
                                        2  Bleeding Heart Tetras
 
                                        2 Cherry  Barbs
                     
                                        1 Mickey Mouse Platty
 
                                         2 Corydoras Catfish 
 
                                         1  Golden Wonder Killifish
 
 
I have no ammonia issues  so far..       and   I have a lot of live plants in there as well.  
 
I am hoping that this will all do    well.     
 
Can anyone  let me know  if  this is an ok  Set up..   and Stock....    ??
 
Thank You

to TFF! Hope you enjoy it here.
 
I'd love to see a picture of your tank.
 
There are some stocking issues. All of them except the platy and killifish prefer groups of 6+, which would overstock this tank.
The white cloud minnows prefer cooler temperatures.
 
What type of cories do you have? Only the pygmy, hastatus, habrosus, and panda would be suitable for this size tank.
 
The platy, harlequins, and cherries would be better in a 15g+. The black phantom and bleeding heart tetras would be better off in a 20g+.
 
What test kit are you using? Is it liquid or strips? Just wanting to check
 
I hope I havn't come off as rude at all. Out of those the only ones I've kept are cories, but I based the tank sizes off of information from seriouslyfish.

It seems like your tank is heavily stocked with a whole  bunch of different schooling fish, who should have at least 6+ in their group to relieve stress and insure proper behavior.
