I mean, there's no major problem there, only thats a lot of small zippy fish. If you can find pygmy cories, all the better For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett

It's not overstocked, but another option would be to choose one school plus the cories, and also some sort of centerpiece fish. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
