3 serpae tetras
5 black neon tetras
2 blackskirt tetras
3 guppys
4 austrailian rainbow
1 molly
2 zebra danios
1 sucker fish (a small one)

How's your filtration? And water changes? But IMO your good.

Filtration better be good.

Nitrate level between water changes is what?

the rainbows will out grow the tank. but it otherwise looks good with good filtration

well i just bought the stater kit 20 gallon tank so it has that filter (whisper 20). and the water was just added from my old tank then i put half new water with conditioner.

that sucker fish may be a problem in the future.

Uh oh. What was in your other tank? This tank is likely not established to hold all those fish. FYI, that filter will not cut it, unless you are doing water changes religiously.

religiously would be how often? what type of filter would be good and also if there are too many how many should i get rid of?
