Hello guys, I am new to this and I am french so really sorry if I make some writting mistakes..
So like, I bought a 58L so I think like 15 gallon tank about a month or a bit more. I cycled it and my levels are all good but i just wanted to be sur before adding my first shrimps.
i wanted to have a betta with shrimp and khuli loach but don't know if it would be too much 1 betta with like 5 or 6 shrimp and 5 khuli loach. i used aqadvisor and it told me it was okay but don't know in what order i have to put them (i was planning on putting the shrimp first so they know every hiding places in case my betta is too agressive) but like i don't know if it's better to add my betta first…
my aquarium is planted and i can add an oxygene pump and there is two big pieces of wood and i hope that it can't cut my betta or anything. and it's a 60x30x34.
i will also had a sort of cave on the left side.

I would skip the loaches and only buy the shrimp and the beta. Its first of all a bit much otherwise and I have heared mixed results from loach+shrimp. They might eat your shrimps and they could be much more proficient at doing so than the beta. Otherwise space wise looks good. Did you test the water parameters? You might want to upload your results so some shrimp experts (not me) can tell you if your water is alright for them
I wouldn’t put khulis in anything under a 20 gal. I would just get the betta and shrimp. I would buy a lot of plants so the shrimp have ample hiding space from the betta, not all shrimp are fast enough to escape those gluttonous jaws ,,,
I’d add the shrimp first. If you add the betta first, it’s more likely to act aggressively when something new is suddenly introduced in its territory. It’ll be way more likely to harm the shrimp
