New Tank Found

Is this stocking okay for the 20 gal. long?

6 Lamp Eye Tetra
4 Kuhlii Loach
1 Pearl Gourami
1 Spotted Rafael Catfish
5 Ghost Shrimp
2 Blue Mystery Snails
 
imo that tank is unsuitable for aquaria of anysort no matter how long you soak it. I would sell it and consider buying another tank.

Anyone?
 
Based on the list you provided, I would stock 5 Oto's, 3 Boesmani Rainbowfish, and 1 Pearl Gourami. and 2 South American Bumblebee Catfish(aka: the Bumblebee Pim).

That aside, I also recommend buying a new tank. Your current held rats, and then sat in the garage for years. I think you'd have to comletely strip the sealant, soak in bleach, rinse, rinse a couple more times, rinse one last time to make sure you got all the bleach out, and then re-seal it. Maybe i'm paranoid, but i've owned rodents, and they're dirty creatures.
 
For the bleach/water mixture, how much bleach should I put in per gallon of water. Basically how much am I going to have to put in the 20g? How much bleach in 20 gallons?
 
just a couple splashes. a 20g is fine for an aquarium and i don't know of any rat-to-fish diseases that may be out there. just resist the urge to add more fish.
