How does this sound,

10 Cardinal tetras
2 German Blue Rams
3 Otos

Any comments or suggestions?
 
I would cut the tetras down to 6 or 7, but other wise, it sounds good.
 
In a 20g long tank, 10 tetras is a good number. The tank is 30 inches long, so the fish have room.

Your stocking looks good. If it was me, I'd go with 12 tetras. :D But my tank would be heavily planted.
 
Unless you just like Otos, I would go with 2 cory cats in a new tank because you won't have algae anyways. The cory cats will help keep your gravel clean

You probably won't need more than 2 otos to clean the algae in a 20 gallon. If it's a brand new tank with no algae you need to supplement the otos with algae wafers or fresh Zuccinni slices...they'll starve otherwise
 
You'd actually probably need more than two cories as they are highly gregarious fishes that feel better in groups of their own kind.

you're right, the more the better...but as long as they aren't alone they seem ok. I had a pair once and they seemed like happy little campers and best friends.
