Yeah all of the differnt cory will school togehter, however, they do a lot better when with there own kind. Adding the three panda will have a marked improvement in there social behavior, of course one of the panda and three elagans will give you the bare minimum of each. My albinos have a lot of fun together even though 2 are juvinile and four are almost adults. Ihave 4 peppered and 2 others in my other tank and they mostly school when i have my hands in the tank. My Ornate thinks he is a bala shark though which is halarious.

So I am still working on my pics. But here is my stocking list and everything is going fine and dandy!

2x German Rams
3x Mollies (male)
3x Panda Corys
1x Emerald Cory
1x Albino Cory
4x Otto

does this tank have any more room or is it fully stocked (it is ok if it is I just wasnt sure if anything else would fit)

Add more pandas...and get rid of the other two cories. It is not good to have only one cory of a type. Add about 5 more pandas and take the other two cories to a LFS. The pandas will be much happier then. They really should be in groups of more than 6 IMO...they do much better having alot of their company.
You can add a school of smaller tetras. Maybe lemons...or even Harlequin Rasboras (which are not tetras). I wouldn't add neons...they stay towards the bottom and you already have the cories and the rams that occupy the bottom.

How about
2 X German Ram
3 X Mollies
6 X Panda Corys
NO Emerald Corys
NO Albino Corys
4 Ottos?

Corys need to be kept in a group of 4 of their own kind (MINIMUM) but 6 is better.

Especially with Pandas.

So my 20 gal(Long) is having a crisis of staghorn algae

I am curious if I have enough light? I have a FloraGlow for the 24" and it is 20 Watts (2800 K Bulb). So would I need more light or is this enough? (my water perameters were good on last check).
