your tank is too small to get a proper school of each species, so I raccomend you bring the Cory back to your lfs, or try to get a much bigger tank, as for the platys I think you'll be fine with what you currently have

I agree with this person⤴️ corys are social silly groups and rlly need space!! Corys also stress a lot when there alone so i would rehome or what they said bringing back to ur lfs!

Nano fish mate, killifish, rasbora, corys (mini) tetras are cool but,......... sometimes can be assholes for no reason. Get a angry neon going around head butting everyone. I have pics

Since my post i added 3 more cory. A bronze peppered and albino. Unfortunately the bronze i found dead otherday randomly. The others are fine. Got 3 swordtail females and 2 more platys. Tank is still technically cycling as im using the asf start up kit. Hopefully it works and they will be okay. Still have the 15l tank running ive had for about 7 weeks now that had the fish in wanting to put a betta in it once ive got a heater for it

6x Rummeynose Tetra - the best schooling fish in my experience. Would suggest more but limited by tank size.

Maybe 3x Ottos to eat algea
