macdaddy36 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Spoiler Hi, I recently set up a new planted tank. I am looking for stocking options. It is a standard 20 gallon high aquarium. Current stocking list below. - 5 Harlequin Rasbora - 1 Mystery Snail -1 Nerite Snail -2 Ramshorn Snail (came with plants lol) Plants include 3 Giant Saggitaria, 1 Amazon Sword, 2 Anubias, 1 Tiger Lotus, and some Water Lettuce. Aquaneat Light, Aquaneat 20 sponge filter, Aquaclear 30 filter, Nicrew Heater. I would like to fully stock my tank. The first fish I like are Honey Gouramis, they have both red and gold varieties at my LFS. I think I would get 3 (1m, 2f), as I have heard they are social fish. I would like to finish off my school with 3 more Harlequin Rasboras but at the time I bought them the LFS only had 5 left (they have more now). The other fish I would like to get are Kuhli Loaches. I would get 5-6 to dwell at the bottom of the tank. I prefer Kuhli Loaches over Corydoras in looks but I am kind of open to both. Really want to try Honey Gouramis though. I would also like to get another Mystery snail so they can maybe breed. Any feedback on my current setup or future stocking list would be greatly appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Hill-Legion Aquatics Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 There's lots of videos on YouTube with 20 gallon stocking ideas. but I personally would go with a couple pseudomugil rainbows and a small school of corydoras, you could also add a couple more Harlequin Rasboras for a bigger school. I hope this helped and your tank looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Honey gouramis are highly doable. I’d get 5 and see how they shake out in terms of pairing up. You may have to take back 1-3 of the other fish. You’ll just have to see. I’d get 10-12 Kuhlis otherwise you’ll hardly every see them at 5-6. I would agree with @Jacob Hill-Legion Aquaticson increasing the harlequins. I love Pseudomeugils they are always a great choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
