Is this tank setup ok?

Question

I have:
-2 cory cats
-2 dwarf gourami
-3 male guppies
-3 female guppies
-6 amano shrimp
-6 ghost shrimp
-3 african dwarf frogs

im not concerned with the size of my tank. i just want to make sure all my fish are compatable with eachother. ive had bad experiences with my guppies as two of them were killed by killifish and silver mollies. ive removed the killifish and silver mollies, and i just want to make sure all the inhabitants of my aquarium are safe. i know guppies are vulnerable. do you think the anyone in the tank is a threat? please explain any concerns.

the tank is a 20 gallon. the gouramis have been there from the start. they seem fine except they are a little mean to eachother, but nothing crucial. im just worried about the guppies. when one of the guppies was dying, the shrimp attacked. i think this was just because it was dying.

so you think the cory cats would pick on the shrimp? i havnt put the corys in the tank yet, there in my other 20 gallon. i thought they might overcrowd the bottom as there are a lot of shrimp always sifting around. what do u suggest?

i could leave out the corys and add 5 neon tetra instead. would that be a good idea? comment on anything ive addressed please

Answer 1

you should leave out the cory's since you have already lot's of shrimps in there and they will do the same job

As for the neons, yes you can add them, but you should get at least 6 of them, that's the best sized school

All the other fish seem to be ok with each other

Here is a link for dwarf gouramis, and a compatibility chart with it

info relating to the equipment alongside with filter out kinds ect will help the solutions. Assuming the tank has good filtration nonetheless identity surely be frightened approximately if it replaced into adequate fish. Throw that bloody a million inch in keeping with gallon rule out the window...a a million inch molly has alot greater mass/waste then a a million inch guppy... a 9 inch oscar is alot diverse then a 9 inch angel. Your fish must be producing adequate waste to maintain the micro organism mattress. I even have considered many circumstances ppl conflict to cycle the tank reason they only didnt have adequate fish to start and shelter a healthful micro organism mattress. each and all the fish you reported are extremely small so i could surely upload a pair alongside with a small catfish or 2 and a small clown pleco. interior the top you may overcrowd slightly and be high quality it incredibly is going to easily propose you ought to do greater universal cleanings... seem on the fish on the keep they're usually very crowded yet there are ppl there an incredible style of the day engaged on them. merely discover the stability that works best for you.

That is too many fish for that size tank! I suggest taking out one of the groups of bottom feeders or cleaners.

Also, there should be more 2-3 female guppies to 1 male. The males will stress out the females trying to breed.

Answer 4

I would not get the ADF's they would have a very hard time competing for food. Get 3 corys instead. I have never had problems with corys and shrimp together.

Answer 5

your tank is just a little crowded and that my cause the gouramis to become aggressive

Answer 6

you might have a problem with all the bottom dwellers eating each other or stressing each other out.. but other than that you should be ok as long as the top fish are all the same size or are community fish. you will notice aggressive behaviour before it gets bad.

Answer 7

How big is the tank?
The Gourami's might fin nip a little, but for the most part you should be fine.

Answer 8

oh no their are why 2 many fish in your fish that's your fish will die because they can catch phi and so on
