I have a 20 Gallon tank now stocked with

2 black mollies
6 black skirt tetras
4 julii cories
1 rubbermouth pleco

can I add a rainbow shark to this? If not what could I add? I am looking for a big-ish fish to put in my tank. When I read up on it, a site said it needs 20 Gallons

I have both, a rainbow AND a Bala.. and so far they have been fine with the minnows, as the sharks are still smallish.. my Bala is about 6" and my Pink is about 4".
