I'm in the process of stocking a 20 gal high tank. My initial plans were to have 12 ember tetras, 3 ottos, 2 german rams and 10 amano shrimp. My filtration is a 2213 eheim, the tank is moderately planted (mostly stems) and has 48watts of t5 HO lighting +18 watts t8. I figured that with the faster growth of the plants, I would be able to have more shrimp, but the LFS owner told me that 4-5 amanos is plenty. Is this true? I guess I'm picturing the tanks with cherries covering the bottoms and am confused as to the difference in stocking.
