Hello. I'm new to this forum and have some general questions on my tank. I have a planted 20 tall with 6 zebra danios, 5 assorted gouramis, 3 neon rossy barbs, a kribnisis and of course a Pleco. I just added two very small and young African cichlids. Will this be okay?

What would you suggest? Would it be better if I removes my gourami? I feel the rosey barbs will be fine and the danios school together at the top.

I'm going to assume the africans are Mbuna since they are the most common africans sold. Mbuna are very aggressive to anything in the tank with them. the pleco and possibly the krib are the most likely to survive but the barbs are likely to get killed. also they are very likely to kill your plants and will need a larger tank as adults.
 
I think that you should keep the planted tank. I had experience with the malawi and I kinda got tired of them:)
