Hello people, just finished scaping my first ever tank. I solved the levelling problem I had before and got it at the best level I could. Now gonna keep it running for a bit and gonna keep on testing the water just to make sure everything is in order.
The tank already has a few snails inside however I am now struggling how to stock the tank without overstocking it. I also never wanted snails, just got it with the tank for free. I am thinking maybe getting an assasin snail to lower the population to free up space for others.
I really want to have 2 honey gouramis.
I also want a group of schooling nano fish. So far I have my eyes on chilli rasboras 9x but I am open to other species
And for bottom dwellers I want Habrosus Cory catfish 4-6x but I am also open for other species
Any advice is appreciated!

Your tank looks so pretty! I love the wood piece, I’m sure once the plants grow in it’ll look even better.
For what I’ve read, 15 gallons is too small for two honey gouramis, they can sometimes be territorial. If you want all those fish, you can maybe have them, depends on your nitrates. If they are low and the gourami is not aggressive, you could get the honey gourami, 9 chilli rasboras and 6 habrosus or pygmy corys (these are the smallest and are more suitable for your tank size). I suggest you introduce them slowly. Which one of those do you want the most? Introduce that, then the next one, and check the nitrates. If they get too high after a week, don’t get more fish. If they stay low, you can think about introducing the third species. Good luck!
