Currently, I am trying to not overstock my 20 gal long. The 5 danios and the 5 cories are the only things i did initial plan for but my other 20 gal actually was very overstocked at some point...it seems to have met an equilibrium and now I have 6 guppies, 2 cories, a bristlenose, 2 algae eaters, and a clown loach. Regrettably, I was looking for a snail eater and this guy kept going on about how a clown loach would be great for my 20 gal not knowing how BIG they got. So far, my loach seems to be happy...I hope it stays that way until I can rehome them to go to a bigger tank. For now, I'm thinking of adding the loach and one of my algae eaters to the new tank when it cycles. The two algae eaters fight constantly and I didn't realize they could get aggressive towards each other. Would 5 danios, 5 cories, an algae eater, and a clown loach be okay? I'm not an expert mind you, but have been doing freshwater tanks for nearly 3 years now. I've got a 40g long with ~23 fish of various rasbora and tetra species, as well as around 12 cories of mixed species, and it's been very stable this year. So comparatively in your 20g, 5 danios and 5 cories would be like 1/4 of the bio load in 1/2 the tank space, so I personally think adding an algae eater and clown loach would be totally fine. Granted there are multiple types of algae eater (some get pretty big!) and obviously the loach is a growing boi, so I can't be like 100% "Yes definitely this will totally work" but as long as you keep an eye on it, water change/test water quality regularly, it should be good. As always, there are so many variables in fishkeeping, even just with the water itself, so nothing's guaranteed. TL;DR: In my experience, seeing as you could probably house 10 danios and 10 cories in that tank with no problem (depending on filtration setup and frequency of water changes) I feel like 5 danios and 5 cories are only about half the load for your tank and adding the algae eater and loach won't overload it. |
