I currently have a 20 gall standard sized tank. I currently have 1 Betta, 2 African Dwarf Frogs, 2 Red Ramshorn Snails, and 2 Royal Blue Ramshorn Snails (Basically all snails are pencil eraser sized). I had planned on also getting maybe 3 Albino Cory's and like 8-10 White Clouds.

My questions is this...
If I decided to get around 8-10 Ghost Shrimp do you think this would overcrown the tank? Or overcrowd the bottom having the Frogs and Cory's who are also bottom dwellers?

Any help is appreciated,
Curtis

No, I think it would be fine, you could even get a couple more corys, they'll like the company

Well my wife nixed my idea for the Ghost Shrimp. She said they were ugly. Who knows I might get her to change her mind in time. Anyway I was able to pick up 6 cardinal tetras. So my plan is

1 Betta (have now)
2 African Dwarf Frogs (have now)
2 Red Ramshorn Snails (pencil eraser sized right now)
2 Royal Blue Ramshorn Snails (pencil eraser sized right now)
3 Albino Cory's
8 Cardinal Tetras (Have 6 right now)

Does anyone think this is too crowded for the 20 gall or could I get a few more? Keep in mind I don't want to have to transfer any fish so I'm trying to plan so they could grow to their full capacity.

Thanks anyone for assistance,
Curtis
