You should of course pick up 5 or 6 corydoras!!! They are energetic, and will help clean up bits of leftover food. Stick with 6 of the same species though, as cories like hanging out with their own kind.

Welcome to FP!

Before you decide on stocking, is your tank cycled?

Livebearers should be kept in a ration of 1m/2f. As for the stocking, I suggest cuting down on the mollies and platies, and get a fish that will go in another level of the aquarium, like a school of corydoras catfish.

Welcome to FP.

You must keep your Platies & Mollies with a ratio of 1Male/2Females.

I also recommend some Corydoras, they are great entertainers & eat any left over food. You must also feed them sinking pellets.
