I've had all those fish, the barbs will fin nip something fierce, all barbs do ! The red tailed shark could get a little overly agressive towards the other fish, I recently had to give mine away, he got bigger and meaner and he is with two 6" Severums and a 7" Jurapari and an Electric Blue Jack Dempsey*twirlysmi ! and the black ghost can get huge. When it does get bigger it will eat other smaller fish. I used to put feeder rosies (goldfish sorta) in my tank to feed another fish and the black ghost would always steal one for himself. I've done some crazy things but I don't think I would have a black ghost in a 20 gal. aquarium. Don't know how fast they grow, but you would have to part with it at some point. *twirlysmi

Even though all the fish you described are small for now, they will all outgrow the space you have for them. You have to think about how large the fish will be when they mature. Molly fish can grow to 3 inches and angelfish can grow to 6 inches.

Hogwort is a plant that uses a lot of nitrates. That would be a good addition to your tank. I love the little cabin. It is so cute. :)
