I have a pretty peaceful boy in Casper, he's been in his 20 gal tank for about a month or two now with a female molly (Who was bullied in my community tank) and my lone Panda cory. This setup is known as my tank of misfits.

I want to add more fish to it to make it a more worthwhile tank, I am certainly adding more cory's, as my poor lone cory is probably very lonely.
I know my female molly doesn't get on well with other mollies, especially male mollies.
(Both of the other two fish are pretty mute colors, as the Molly is a mostly black dalmatian.)

I was wondering what other people would add to liven up this tank other than four or five more corries.
Endlers are hard to come by around here :blink:

I was thinking of adding snails and shrimp as a bonus, but I really want another companion or two or something to fill the upper levels of the tank

You could put in a peaceful, schooling dither fish. Harlequin Rasboras, Espei Rasboras, Mosquito Rasboras, Sparrow Rasboras, Cardinal Tetras, or Celestial Pearl Danios. Shrimp like cherry shrimp might be snacked on, but amanos will be too big. You could do

1x Betta
6-8x Cories
10-12x Schooling fish listed above
 
okay :) I'll do some research and see if any soot my fancy :)
 
Why not fill out your cory group to about 5 or 6 of all the same species? Cories are far more enjoyable in larger groups and would liven up the tank nicely for your betta too.
