so i finally started up my tank and at the moment have two guppies and 5 glowlight tetras in my tank! its about a twenty gallon and as of now, more or less lightly planted. (will change though)

so i have this stock in plan:

5 guppies
5 glowlight tetras
7 neon tetras
1 honey dwarf gourami

should i add more to the glowlights, or is that too much for one tank?

I think it would be over-doing it. I'd go with 6-7 of one or the other on tetras and a dwarf/honey gourami, and then stop there for top/mid-level dwellers. The reason being because tetras/danios are very active fish and like space to swim around(if you get the larger tetra type that are gene tampered skirt tetras, you wont want more than five and it's pushing it for them in a tank smaller than 30 gallons, even the danios prefer 25-30 gallons but are ok with 20 gallons as a minimum), adding in three groups like that would be way too much for both bioload and space, less swimming space would likely result in a lot of fighting and nipping. You could do some small peaceful bottom-dwellnig fish though, and if you do sand substrate I'd highly recommend 6-7 julii or pygmy cories or 6-8 kuhli loaches. And no, sand wont harm your other fish, most aren't stupid so they wont eat it, and what little they do ingest actually helps the system. Just in case that's a worry, it's pretty much myth....pretty much, and for these guys is. ^_~

You could do-
5 guppies
5-7 glowlights
10 neons easily
1 honey gourami

If this is a long it would be better. Is it a long?

Also what is your filtration?
