Stocking my 26 gallon long freshwater aquarium?

Question

I will be starting my 26 gallon planted aquarium soon, so I wanted to figure out what I'm going to stock it with. I already know the types I want, I just would like some opinions on the amounts.

I was thinking of:

7 Harlequin Rasboras

5-6 Corydoras Catfish

10 Cardinal Tetras

Would this work? Please switch it up if you know a better way. Also I kind of wanted a centerpiece fish, so I was thinking of something like a Pearl Gourami. Would there be room for 1 or 2?

Thanks

Answer 1

Your stocking would work perfectly. As long as you have a filter and heater, but I'm sure you already do ;)

Pearl Gouramis grow up to 6", so you couldn't add any to the current stocking.

E-mail me for any questions!

Answer 2

get 6 harlequin rasboras

6 corydoras catfish

6 cardinal tetras

then u could get 1 pearl gourmi

u could also get a couple of dwarf african frogs as these do not grow that big and are safe with the fish mentioned

hope this helps u out  

Answer 3

that would be great for a cichlid tank!

you should get,

1 green terror

3 firemouth cichlids

2 blue rams

or if you don't want cichlids you could have...

1 blood parrot fish + 3 angel + 1 plecostomus (get a bristle nose they only

grow to about 6'')

and you could also have..

6 neon tetra + 6 cardinal tetra + 4 albino corydoras.
