Getting a 15 gallon

[trevo878]

Would I be able to go...
2 rams
2 dwarf gourami
4 cories
and a dojo loach?

I'm thinking a 15gal is too small for a dojo. I had one in a 20 long and have since learned it was too small. Maybe you could get a kuhli loach or a dwarf loach instead. Also, I think they like having other loach friends around.

I would skip the loach, not just because of size, but also because the cories and rams are both bottom-dwellers and the loach is also so they'd be competing for space. You may want to consider a couple of otos (which are smaller) or khuli loaches instead (though khulies get to 3 inches, sometimes more, so they'd be rather crowded on the bottom as well. Maybe get a couple of cherry barbs instead? They aren't so much a bottom-dweller and they'll add activity to the tank.

that would be pushing it for a 15g

I would just keep 2 rams and a small loach or 4 dwarfs and a loach
