Put in my order for some pygmy corydoras

I just want to run this by the community to make sure I'm in the right.

20 gallon long

1 Ghost Shrimp (wouldn't mind adding more)
3 otocinclus
9 guppies (I am planning on having them breed)

and I'm planning on adding in 6 or so pygmy corydoras.

The temp is kept between 75 - 76 degrees Fahrenheit

I've got Jungle Vallisneria, Java Fern, and Salvinia.

So I don't believe that I will be overstock by adding in the corydoras, as long as I can keep my guppy population down. Is the temp right for the cory?

The temp is fine, I wouldn't go any higher & 6 is ok but I find the smaller corys do better in larger groups.

That should be ok. Pygmy cories are so cute! You could add a few more ghost shrimp.

What would you recommend? 10? I'm not sure how many the pet store is going to get in, if I need to though I can always have them order some more.

I know, I love how little they are! I know shrimp have a low bio-load. Do you think I could go with a dozen?

Yes, that'd be okay.

I tend to go for odd numbers so I'd say 9 but 10 would be ok too.
