Hello! I am currently re stocking my 20 gallon long in order to experience more in this hobby, so I will be rehoming my tiger barbs and dwarf gourami, however I also have a blur gularis that I do not want to rehome because of how beautiful it is and because of its personality, the problem is that the blue gularis seems to eat most community fish in this hobby, which puts my stocking options lower, I also occasionally get an algae problem ( usually disappears for a while after water change) and I'm trying to get permanently rid of it by changing the lighting hours, but to help me I am getting a SAE to help eat algea in the plants (where I cant get it off of) and hard to reach places, so the must have in my stocking list is blue gularis (already have it) and the SAE, but I dont know what else to put in, there's so much fish in this hobby! So I'm making this thread to get some ideas based on these factors, here you go,

Temperature: 75 F

Ph: 7.5 - 8

Filter: 30 gallon

Tank size: 20 gallon long

PS. If you could (dont have to) can you tell me if I can add cory Dora's (they look so nice) and some sort of schooling fish along with the SAE and blue gularis that wont get eaten? Thanks! I also just realized I put this post in the wrong category, sorry

Ok your killifish is how big now? Get bigger SAE and get 2. Both of these fish will grow to about 4”. I had golden wonder killifish and they only ate the fish that stayed on the top of the tank. So corys should be fine. Some of the bigger tetras will work too. Nothing small enough to fit in its mouth.

The blue gularis is around 3 inches right now, might get 2 SAE now and ditch the corys.. thanks for the advice ! Will white skirt tetras work?
 
As long as they don’t fit in it’s mouth. I think corys will be fine. Your killi stays on the top of the tank?

Yea killifish stays at the very top of the tank most of the time, I was thinking July cory Dora's, will they be good?
 
Julii’s are hard to come by. But yes they’ll be fine. Any cory will work except dwarf or pygmy’s

I think I'll just stick to the 2 SAE, a larger tetra group, and the blue gularis, thanks for the advice
After some research I found a tetra that looks nice, do you think emperor tetra will work or will it get eaten
