CCK Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I have a 20 gallon long - have real plants. Aqua tech 20-40 12 embers, 5 neons, 3 amanos, 3 ghost shrimp, 3 mystery snails Am I at the max?? Would love 1 honey gourami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardeepTheLondoner Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Add 1 Neon & you can add a Honey Gourami too. I’d probably reduce the Mystery Snails to 1, max 2. Know that a Honey Gourami may colour clash with the Ember Tetras and not give you the contrast you may want. If it was me- 12 Neons 1 Honey Gourami-Male, females aren’t that colourful 3 Amano/Ghost Shrimp 1 Mystery Snail-If you want them to breed, get 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howfie_03 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) I agree with Hardeep. I’d add a few more neons (I’d add 3 more) and the Honey and reduce your mystery snails to 1. 3 adult mystery snails is an insane bioload that you could use elsewhere and make your other inhabitants happier. 12 embers 8 neons 3 amano 3 ghost (when these die I wouldn’t replace them) 1 honey 1 mystery snail Edited January 30, 2021 by Howfie_03 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCK Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 @HardeepTheLondoner Is there a different fish you would recommend besides the gourami for a centerpiece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Guorami might also eat the shrimp so I think either way you run that risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apistogramma are also a great entry into cichlids I feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
