I am waiting for the tank to cycle and in the meantime I am trying to figure out what fish to get. I know I have asked this question before with different fish but the more I learn the more I tweak. Hope I have it right this time. Here is what I want to get.
8 cardinal tetras
6 guppies (3 emerald 3 fancy tail, all boys)
3 corry catfish (either blue or peppered)
1 dwarf pleco
1 snail (mystery?)
Will this work together? I wanted to get 6 harlequin Rasboras to offset the colorful …

This tank has been set up for 1 year & had 10 platys in it. I had to give them away 6 months ago because I couldn’t deal with all of the babies. I restocked my tank with 10 peppered cory catfish and 9 glowlight tetras. I’m just wondering if I could add one more glowlight or would it be pushing it?
my weekly tests results are perfect and I haven’t had any problems with my water quality etc. I’m running two aquaclear 50 filters on the tank.

My Fish Tank:
Ph: 7.6
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 20 ppm
Tap Water Test Results:
