I was wondering if i could put a red-tail shark and some harlequin rasboras in a 20g? I know that only one red-tailed shark should be in a tank, but would it get along with the rasboras and how many rasboras would i need to get? Also could i put some swordtails in there? I think my idea is too overstocked...

RTBSs need tanks of 3feet(30g) or larger if kept with simi-aggressive fish and will need a 55g if you want to keep harlequins with it.

Thanks for the reply, I read on a website that they only need a 10g tank. Seemed a little too small tough. If I forget the rtbs could i get the rasboras and some swordtails?

Sure... probably 8 of each, or any combo with no more then 16 total and no less then 6 harlequins.

If I where you I'd go with...
8 Harlequins
1m/3f Swordtails
6 Corydoras

Swordtails reach four inches...that list is too much for only 20 gallons...how about:

8 rasboras
1m/3f swordtails
