I own a 20g right now ...
It's only got a few corkscrew vals and some other then (hydra?) with two anubias and java moss growing all abouts ....

So far I have 10 cardinals, a cory, 3 guppies and a ghost shrimp ...

I was hoping to add some more cardinals but I don't want to push the bioload >.>

I'm also wanting to get a bio-wheel and replace my aquaclear =D
I don't use c02 and don't really plan to introduce it to this tank.
 
A few more cardinals won't push the bioload. Add some more cories (3 or 4). They prefer being in groups.
 
Yeah? >.>
What do you think ...
maybe 3-4 more cardinals and another cory? >.<
 
I would go with more cories first. They like to school when in larger groups (I've heard that and seen it in LFS tanks; no personnal experience). Wach your levels and then if you don't see too much of a spike, add some cardinals slowly. Cories eat enough debris that I don't think they'll cause too much of a problem. Plus your one lonley cory will be happier. :)
 
mmmph
I don't really much like cory's ... lol
They are kind of spooky to look at >.<

I'm having a problem with my guppies eating the lil pellets too =(
which is awful because they're being overfed and it doesn't diguest and just kinda gets pushed out odd-like.
 
what knd of cories are they? certain corydoras sp. can grow to an adult size of 1" to 4". I can't really tell you how many more fish you can add, but you should either tanke the cory back or get some more of them (3-4 atleast).
 
*just a hint for housecleaning I learned here--if you have uneaten food hanging around it can increase ammonia levels etc.; I just take a dedicated fish tank turkey baster and squooze the mess up!! Works pretty good. Just my 2 taters' worth. ~r
 
your cory will probably eat the leftovers from whatever your guppies eat; i have the same issue with my sinking pellets and only drop those in every other day or so.
turkey basters are awesome quick clean-up tools!
 
I have a leoperd cory. I was told he won't grow larger than 2 inches or so he is now. I don't mind getting another cory as thats the absolute minimum =P but 3 is kinda pushing it.
