20 Gallon Long Overstocked?

[Curlykid1]

Hey everyone, first post here. Just wanted to get some more experienced opinions on how close my 20 gallon is being to overstocked. Current stocking is as follows

• 1 Male Dwarf Gourami
• 6 Neon Tetras
• 3 JuliI Corydoras
• 3 Fancy Male Guppies
• 2 Nerite Snails
• 1 Marimo moss ball
• 2 Anubias

Filtration Aqueon HOB w/ an intake prefilter and medium size bag of ceramic bio rings stuffed in there with the stock filter cartridge

doesn't sound too bad to me. If your nitrates are getting too high just do extra water changes
it's really dependant on your testing if your tank is sufficient for the fish you have in there. And you could always get more plants

I feel like someone's going to tell you to up the Cory numbers I would maybe trade in the guppies for extra cories if it was me

I would add more plants if I were you

but that is me talking doesn't seem bad just do your waterchanges

I might try to get one more juliI from the store. My kids picked out the fancy guppies so I don't think I can get away with trading them in lol.

Lol makes sense, my boyfriend was the same with guppies too. He even named them hahaha

Sounds about 50% of what I have in mine, but I have more plants and weekly wc keeps nitrates around 20ppm.
I would add 3 more cory and more plants is always good

Do you guys think I could get away with adding a single pearl gourami in there?

Nahhhh I wouldn’t mix Gouramis and those get too big for a 20 gallon
