Ok my 20g includes:
2 Swortails
6 Neon Tetras
1 BB goby
12 Ghost shrimp
*1 Sailfin Pleco 3" (i know... he will be moved to a very large tank in the future)

Using an emp 200
tons of plants w/ c02

Do you think there is room for one "centerpiece fish" ? Any suggestions? or do you think I am overstocked w/ the pleco and shrimp ect?

*Again I know how big the pleco is going to get. He will be moved to a 100g+ at 6" or less.

i wouldnt try keeping any of the other fish in brackish except the goby, but that was discussed in another thread a few days ago.are both of your swords males or females or one of each? male swords can get agressive as they get older if they dont have anough females to distract them. i male per three females is the preferred ratio.

this is not my BW setup, the goby will be moved when its ready... currently it is one male one female Swordtail.

i would go ahead then and get two more females to keep the pressure off of the one, but be prepared for some fry

the sooner the better about the pleco. i think a extra female or two swortails would keep the tank overstocked with fry. just make sure the other fish eat them or you have a place to put them. you could also get a couple more neons also.
