Would a betta(maybe 2), 2 sparkling gouramis, 6 cory catfish and shrimp be overstocking a 20 gal?

I dont want to do tetras but i could do rasboras. And i love guppies, but id only be able to males as i dont really want constant breeding.

So i could do 3 or 4 apistos in one tank.
Im not sure i want to do a breeding tank yet.

I could do
6 cory catfish
2 female bettas
4 blue shrimp
2 dwarf gouramis
Which would be a 71% stock(off of aqadvisor)

I also found german rams which i like, but im not sure how they would do in the above, but without the gouramis.

20 gallon long? You could have schooling or shoalling varieties. I love the tough but flashy Zebra danios.

I recently got 20 Ember tetras for my 29 gallon tank. They have matured and are a golden color, and look SO pretty swimming in groups close to the water's surface.
I also love zebra danios I have a mix of zebras and leopards in my tank.


If your skipping the bettas and are looking at possibly tetras I’d have to suggest getting at least a school of xray/pristella tetras they don’t have much color but they have a golden shine with some subtle red and a pop of black and yellow honestly after getting them they are some of my favorite fish.

O really want some more X-rays but my tank is at the limit and I can’t find them anywhere and getting them shipped it will be around $120 for 6

They are pretty!
I was actually looking at Tetras and Danios to add as just another schooling fish
