I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

I would start by adding, 3 more Albino, 3 more Peppered Corydoras & 3 more Danios. These are schooling fish & likes company.

Ok..but it's not that easy to find them here.
If i find other corydoras..like pandas..is it ok to have 3 kinds..

Preferably they'll be the same species, but if you don't find any, i would add some Panda's.

You can also add some Tetra's, if you like them.

Pandas are even more social than the other cories you have and would prefer not just a group of 6 but 8 or more. You would be better off getting more cories that are similar in size and color to your current ones. Bronze cories would be a much better choice since they are the same species as albinos.
If you increase the danio school they are less likely to harass your other fish. A smaller group of danios spends more time zipping after the other fish and possibly nipping them. I aquired a giant danio from someone and it ended up stressing out my neon swordtails to the point I lost 1 of the males. A bigger group will spend more time chasing each other instead of other fish in the tank.

definatley increase your cory and danio schools.

Cories school by color/ pattern- so if you really have a hard time finding more of the same- try to fins ones as similar as possible to what you do have.

Danios are much happier with a school, and will leave your other fish alone. Ive got 10 danios with an angel and 2 blue gouramis- the danios are to busy playing tag with each other to even notice the long feelers and fins in the same tank.
