How does this sound...

I really like guppies and gouramis. Is there a way to incorporate them into the plan and still not overload by tank? Maybe 6 cories, 3 guppies and 1 dwarf gourami?

Just went to liveaquaria.com. No mention of rummynose tetra needing to be in schools. I'm not doubting you, but, thought I would mention that.

You're right, it doesn't say that. They must have missed one. However, on the very first page with all the tetras listed, it says:

"Tetras
Tetras are active schooling fish that work well in the peaceful community aquarium. It is ideal to keep six or more fish of the same species in the aquarium. Tetras do best in a well-planted aquarium with moderate lighting."

Roan Art, Thanks for that info. I really appreciate all of the helpful people in this forum! I'm glad I found this place! So, I think I've decided to do:
1 dwarf gourami
6 cories
2 or 3 male guppies
Is this too much? Is there room for 1 or 2 more?

I would say you could add a couple more...but that's just my opinion.
