Overstocked?

In you opinion, do you think that:
2 Bolivian Rams
6 Rummynose Tetras
4 Khuli Loaches
4 Bamboo shrimp
is to much for a 20 Gallon Long tank?

I don't know anything about the shrimp, but I'd say that the other fish would be fine in a 20 long with good maintenence and regular waterchanges.

Everything's fine except that IMO the Rams might get aggressive towards either each other or towards their tankmates. Nice stocking list btw

I agree with peacemaker. I was unable to keep two bolivian rams together in anything smaller than a 55g. We've tried 20g and a 29g and they were just too aggressive towards each other. Even the 55 has lots of plants and hiding places.

If you only do one bolivian ram, the rest of your stocking list looks fantastic and quite colorful.
