They cycle is almost done. I will be stocking the tank slowly to decrease the bio load. I will add 1 species every 2 weeks. What do you think about some research and asking questions and what I have choosen?
4 Danios
4 cardinal Tetras
4 Cories
I know it seems like alot but i will keep an eye on the Ammonia and Nitrites and try and keep the NitRATES within 25-30ppm. Is that ok? Are they hardy? I will feed some Tropical Fish Flakes, Algeae ftabs and sinking shrimps
 
First off, how big is the tank? Danios and corys are troopers, but cardinals are another story. I had trouble with them until I started lowering my gh and ph. i'd suggest adding them last, just because of their fragility.
 
20 gallons. Okie dokie. could you suggest all the hardy fish to go in there?
 
I'd be thinking along the lines of 3 peppered or spotted corys, 6 harlequin raspborra, and a pair of dwarf gourami (one male on female). Stocking would be the 3 corys first, then 3 raspborra, then 3 more raspborra, and then the gourami last.

Other options would be zebra danio or some sort of tetra instead of the raspborra. Cardinals are fine, but lemons might be an option. Instead of a gourami pair you could try a pair of african butterfly cichlid. One thing I'd say is to have at least 6 of a schooling type fish. Any less and there is almost no hope for them to properly school.
 
You recomended some beautiful fish (proud owner of 7 rasboras, 3 cories, and 1 flame gourami)
