Alright, so I've been thinking about my possible stocking list while the tank is cycling. Here are some fish that I want to keep.
-Glowlight tetras
-Black skirt tetras
-Zebra danios
-Swordtails
-Corydoras
-Otocinclus
-Cherry shrimp
I understand most of these fish (except swordtails) should be in schools of 5 of more, so that would be a total of 25 schooling fish + 2 swordtails + 2 cherry shrimp. Is this too many??

Alright, so here's the previous part of the story that I haven't told yet. I had a 15 gallon Eclipse set up that a friend gave to me last year. After setting it up, I put a school (5 of them) of neon tetras and a school (another 5) of glowlight tetras. About a week later, I found out there was a crack on the bottom pane of the aquarium.

There were traces of water around the base of the tank. So I borrowed a 10 gallon from a friend to put my 10 fish in there. As of now, only 3 neon tetras are left, but all 5 of the glowlight tetras are still here. So these will also have to go in my new tank.
