I have a 20 (US) gallon High tank. It's heavily planted, over filtered, and lightly overstocked (about 1", if that makes any difference to you), fully cycled, and the tank itself is about 4 months old, one of the filters is 2 months old, and the other one is about 8 months old.

I have 6 Harlequin Rasboras, 3 White Cloud Mountain Minnows, 3 Schwartzi Cories, 1 Female Betta Splendens, and 1 Apple Snail.

And just for some mathmatical help:

WCMM 3x 1.5 = 4.5
Harelequin R 6x 1.5 = 9
Scwhartzi 3x 1.33 = 3.99
Betta 1x 2 = 2
Apple 1 = 2

21.49 total

I'm putting some thought into rehoming my female betta. I'd want to add another 'show fish' to the mix... I suspect that a Gourami would fit the bill, but I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the matter.

I'll probably be adding another two Schwartzi cories in the next 2 weeks or so, which would add another 2.66" (again, if that number means anything to you), to the mix.

However, I stress again: It's over filtered (one Aquaclear 20, one Penguin Bio-wheel 125, and one Hydro II sponge filter), heavily planted (with at least two 'fast growing' plants), and maintained weekly.

I suspect that a Dwarf Gourami is pretty much my only choice, if I decide to go through with it, but since I consider myself under-educated where other fish species are concerned, I'd be into hearing what you've got to say.
 
I am cowed.


Please? -_-


I'm embarressed to 'bump', but as I consider myself a 'newbie' even after a year of obsessive study, I'd like for someone to voice their opinion on the matter.



*edit: in an edit, so as not to bump by accident: OK... I'm dropping it. Nevermind, apologies extended. Don't mind the man behind the curtain. I'd researched before and thought I'd seek some kind of refuge in ya'll before closure, but now I'm kinda like.... at an impasse.
