20 Gallon Community Tank - What fish do you have in your 20 Gallon Community?

I have a Juwel Rekord 80 Tropical Freashwater Aquarium Setup. I currently have 3 Zebra Danios, 3 Glowlight Danios, 1 Bronze Cory and 1 Spotted Cory. I would like to add some White Clouds and maybe some Cardinal Tetras. I am aware that my tank is probably fully stocked already. What are your suggestions fellow community tank keepers?

WELCOME to FISHLORE, rorybrien.

You are right, your tank is fully stocked right now. If you add anything it should be another cory since they are happier if there are 3 or more.

Is it important that the corys be of the same species?

Usually corys don't school with others of a different species, but in a small tank (or small numbers), they do eventually 'adopt' each other.

In my 20 long community tank I have 3 ornage platys, three mollies, 1 guppy, 1 snail, 2 ottos and 1 male betta. They all get along great.

Hi!

Wait. All the fish you have there are schooling fish, and nned to be kept in 6's. Dump one of the Danio schools and exchange them at the fish store for the danio you decide to keep. Take one of the corys back, and get 5 more of whatever cory you keep. Your fish will be much, much happier.
