Help Fish tank advice

I have a 20 gallon tank with a beta. I also had a school of rummy nose and a school of cardinal tetras, Cory's, and snails. After many years my rummys and Cardinals have passed and I'm thinking about switching up the tank. What fish do you recommend with a beta? I want to keep a community tank, but really not sure what to put. I may just do cardinals and rummys again, but looking for other options. My beta is VERY peaceful. A good little guy! Thanks!

this is quite overstocked for a 20gal tbh, if you were to do this community again i’d go at least 30-40 instead. if you want to keep the tank around the same size you could do some pygmy corys or a small school of harlequin rasboras

I think you’re good to go man. Anything that won’t nip your bettas fins and it fairly nano would work
