What type of fish is it?
It looks like a harlequin rasbora.
Cool that you got 20 instead of 10 but make sure it doesnt screw up your stocking

ok... 20 fish is an awful lot to add in one go too. Its been done before, but make sure you do some daily tests for the next few days and just keep an eye on it.
So, what type of fish is it?

Wow, 10 free fish is impressive! I like the way my LFS does it... when I bought my 9 cardinal tetras they deliberately charged me for 7 -- so I got free fish but without the worry of having more than I wanted. When I asked about it, they said not to worry about it, just buy all of my fish there. ;) No problem, since that's my plan anyway. Haven't seen better-looking fish anywhere else in town!

Thats great! My fishguy does that for customers too. A couple extra if he catches them while scooping out what people want. (at least for the smaller cheaper fish,and for things like feeder fish and crickets) It brings people back... it may cost him a few buck up front but for the amounts people drop after (like me...) he more then makes up for it.
Congrats on the great score! thumbs2:

tank looks great tweak. and i dont think your anywhere close to being overstocked.. one concern tho the plant on the right front i belive is a dracena. and its not aquatic.

thats what i been told:).. im keeping an eye on it.. it looks healthy:) but as soon as it goes bad.. out it comes..

Oh I like it! Once I bought 6 fancy guppies and they tried to say I got 10! I was like, uh, NO! We literally had to scoop them out one by one into another container to show them it was only 6.
I like the tank! I looks really nice!

Heck, you got enough room for 20 more.

I would wait a day or two for the bio-filter to grow if the tank has been cycled for awhile. If its only been a week or two since cycling I'd wait a week. Tank looks great and you definitely have room for more. Maybe a few bottom feeders like corys or some plecos.
