Stocking ideas. 10 and 20 gallon

[pancake90]

Hi, I made a list of some peaceful community fish that I would like to create an aquarium with. I have a 10 gallon and 20 gallon tank (alrhough i was hoping to tweak my list enough that i could use the 10 gallon since it is already cycled) and I was wondering which would be best to use and also hoping for suggestions on the stocking ideas I have. So far this is my list.

5 striped kuhli loaches
5 male endlers livebearers
4 venezuelian Pygmy corys
4 female peacock gudgeon
1 honey gourami
1 apple snail
Maybe a few amano shrimp

10 gallon:
5 male endler
1 apple snail
few amano shrimp

20 gallon:
5 stripe kuhli loaches
4 ( although i would get 6 at least ) pygmy cories
1 honey grourami
4 female gudgeon

thats what i would do ( is the 20 a long or standard? )

I would definately use the 10 for a few male Endlers. If you get females you will just end up with too many Endlers and no where to put them. I actually have Endlers in my 10 gallon tank with 3 ottos gto control the algae (although I switch them in and out of tanks on a as needed basis. Old Freak up there has a solid plan for your 20 that I agree with. His advise on stocking is always good. Good Luck and we expect picures!!
