stocking ideas & compatability in a 20 long community

[Prometheus]

im gearing up here to set up a 20 long community tank. the inhabitants i already have are (well should be, i havent seen all of my black khuli loaches in a while) 10 ember tetras, 7 black kuhli loaches, 2 cory cats, 1 banjo catfish, and 1 male CT betta. plan is to have it well planted with a sand substrate. decor will include bogwood and maybe some rocks. this is to be a peaceful community tank so im assuming things like rams are out of the question (though i would like to have some rams). that being said, what stocking ideas do yall have for me? to start things off iv been considering marbled hatchet fish. would that work?

Get 4-5 more cories to fill out that school. I don't think I would add any more fish; it sounds quite full to me.

i agree, u sound fully stocked. just add more cories and your done.

do you think i could fit 5 more in? id buy them as babies and keep in mind this will be a well planted tank so it should be able to handle the extra bio load, right?

i'd add 3 cories that should be good

 

[grimanater]

[Militis]

I agree with above sounds like you got jsut enoguh stock and add few more cories

the hatchets might not work, the betta will harrass them

3 more cories like said above. what kind of cories anyways?

i dont know what kind of cories they are. iv tried to have them ID before but no one has given me a for sure answer, up to this point. here are some pics. i dont think they are the same.
