Hello, I was wondering if I might be too overstocked in my 20 long. I currently have 6 orange laser corydoras, 6 kuhli loaches, 4 panda garras, 9 cpd, 7 amano shrimp and a handful of ramshorn snails. So far everything is going well and there is no aggression or territorial behavior. I'm running a fluval ac30 on one side and a sponge on the left. The staff at my lfs said this stocking plan should be fine but I'd prefer to have more than one persons opinion. I am going up to buy a new test kit since I ran out last week so I will report back with parameters later. I have rehomed the white clouds you'll see in some of these pics due to aggression with the danios

Been trying to fatten up some skinny corys I got and my panda garras take full advantage of the large portions

Just got some orange lazer corys to go with my sterbais in my 20 long, I have 6 of each. Two of them look to be full grown adults and one looks a little red around the gills and pectoral fins. The pet store I go to usually allows you to swap them out if something goes wrong in 48 hours but I would like to know if that's necessary. All the little guys seem very healthy and are schooling and sifting through the sand. The big ones are behaving similarly but the redness and shallow belly are concerning. They were kept with cichlids so stress and being outcompeted could be a possibility

Just took these ramshorns off someone's hands for dirt cheap. They all have these white marks unlike the snails I already own. Is this a color variant, lack of calcium or something else. Last picture is one of my og snails for comparison

Love these little lads and my shop is full of them

Recently got a second large anubia for my panda garras because they really liked the first and would sometimes fight for the best perch. Now they ignore the first one and compete for the new plant.

I recently noticed how male celestial pearl danios all have a unique pattern on their anal fin. Now I have a good way to identify them. Unfortunately the females are all pretty similar

Horseflies and deer flies are an underrated beauty as I see it. Just another animal that needs to eat. The bite does suck though as I've been bitten by both

Northern sunfish, greengill?, pumpkinseed, warmouth, pumpkinseed, pumpkin gill, green sunfish, pumpkinseed

I know they aren't insects but still love em.
