ok so ill get some tetras, some cherrys, and maybe 2 platy females


Sounds good ^_^ how many Tetras and Cherry Barbs were you planning on getting. Both are schooling fish and should have 3 or more.

Oh and I dunno if this counts for Platies, but female Guppies only have to mate once, then they can store sperm for up to 6 months. So you may have some fry in the begining, but they will most likely get gobbled up

Here is some info about your set up. While AQAdvisor is a good starting point, you chould not rely on it alone. I didnt know what kind of filter you had, so I just put in that it was a 20 gallon rated filter lol You can replace what ever info needs replacing. I also just filled in 4 for the Barbs are Tetras =3

I wouldnt get a DG from a pet store. If you can find one, go to a breeder. The stock will be better and less likey to have Dwarf Gourami Disease. There a other small Gourami options like Honey Sunsets, and Pearls (I think). LiveAquaria.com has a Gourami section and they list a lot of nice ones and will tell you what they need =3

If you happen to want a ram make sure you wait at least 6 months and you have really good water quality.

I like the Pearls the best <3 I have an Oplaine, had a Blue, and want a Gold, but every time I see the Pearls at my LFS, I drool over them (and kinda want to swap one with the Opaline, but I love her too much lol)
