I am new to feeding fish. I have a 20gallon long tank. I have everything setup except fishes.
Please help me picking these fishes that i listed below.

I looked up these fishes on https://www.liveaquaria.com

FW - Rio-Negro Pleco X 1

FW - Hi Fin Lyretail Swordtail X 2

FW - Assorted Platy X 3

FW - Boesemani Rainbow X 1

FW - Glowlight Tetra - Small X 2

FW - Green Cobra Guppy X 2

FW - Penguin Tetra X 2

CF - GloFish, Assorted X 6

I know this might be too much for a 20 Gallons tank.
PLEASE tell me what should i keep and quantity of each type of fish !!


Thank you so much!!
 
You cant keep the bosemani rainbow. They are large, active scholling fish.
 
Glow-lights, pengiuns and to some extent coryadoras are best kept in groups of 5 or more, they are a shoaling fish.
 
Same goes for the guppies; they'd rather be in groups. 2 wouldnt be enough to keep them happy.

Also for the platies, you'd need to have 1 male and two females to prevent stress from harassment from the males. Be aware that this means lots of babies!
