I'm probably going to have these:

2 Blue Dwarf Gourami
6 Neon Tetra's
5 Peppered Cory Cat's
1 Candy Striped Pleco

get more neons! Make it 10 neons instead of 6, they'll be happier

Will I not be overstocked then?

 

[RadaR]

That wont be over stocking in a 26gallon.

Ok thanks, I might get 10 then

Finally added fish yesterday! Only got a few Neon's at the moment. Here's how the tank looks now...

Beautiful tank! May I ask what kind of plants are in it? Also, I wanted to say that if you are using Cories, they would probably do best in a group of 6 or more.

More details, please? Do you add CO2? And what kind of lights do you have? Your plants are really looking good.

Edit: Also, what kind of substrate did you use? Thanks!

No I don't use CO2, lights are 36W and I use sand.

Looking good! Are those Limnophila Sessiliflora easy to grow? I quite fancy something similarly shaped for my new tank but I've only got about 1wpg (2x25w) lighting and won't be fitting CO2.

Great tank though, keep us updated with pics!

Yes it seems to be. As you can see from my pictures on the first post, it's grown loads over the last 3 weeks.
