I have a 10gallon planted tank, & was wondering if I can house 6 Corydoras hasbrosus (sp?) & 5 otocinclus catfish along with a few (3?) male guppies for color? Does this sound too stocked? Any advice/comments would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds pretty reasonable to me although I have no experience with . Just make sure you have lots of filtering, frequent water changes, don't overfeed, and resist the temptation to add fish (one of my greatest problems). The smaller the tank the less stable it is so it's probably best to stay with low stocking.
