Oh! I almost forgot, i also have 4 BABY black mollies..they are very tiny right now..but almost the size of a guppy..they all get along
ummm... i think that is too many guppies and what type of cories? most cories require at least 30 gal although many people think that they do not. you can always see how things go and do extra water changes.

If you cut the number of guppys in half, you would be fine. Since you are breeding them, you might want to try and find a place that can/will start taking them, or separate the males and females before you are really overrun :idea2: !!! The corys don't need a 30g tank, 10g minimum for a group of 3. Alot of people will keep a betta and 3 corys in a 10g which is fine ;)

This is a very dead tread so I will help.
Yes, you are overstocked. Try 8 guppies and the other fish you have now.
everything that i have read says that ALL cories need 30gal or more, maybe it said 30L??? someone help me

apparently you haven't checked the species profiles on here ;)
just go with what everyone else says as far as putting less guppies, but also your gona need to be able to put the babies somewhere, all of those liveberers means lots of little fish! id get a 5 or 10 gallon tank to put them in or get in touch with your lfs to see if theyll take the little buggers, maybe youll get some $$ or store credit
also is the 20 gallon a 20gal tall or regualr?
