My parents 20g Alge Tank needs to be stocked. This is what they currently have:

4x Male Guppies
1x Small Female Guppy
1x Betta

This is what I am thinking:

4x Male Guppys
5x Female Guppys
1x Betta
1x Small Pleco (not sure whats available in this area)
Small peaceful school of something inexpensive..... (im thinking cherry barbs x 3 or some harlies)

If they don't maintain the tank, it's better for it to be understocked...

Well, I know I'll be up more often in the summer so It'll be cleaned by me most of the time. I think they do basic changes (10% water changes) and basic maintnence, its just since the alge problum they havent been doing much. I'll fix it though ^_^

Thats what I'm thinking. I think I should add something else for pop. control. Preferably something that wont multiply as much

I was thinking a small pleco because I have personally had better experiences with them. Also, once the alge runs out the ottos may not acccept other foods.
