That's too broad a question to really answer. If it were my tank, and I were starting from scratch, I'd have 8 panda cories, 15 celestial pearl danios and 6 rainbow goodeids. But that's just my taste - you might like honey gouramis, or agassizi apistos, or green neon tetras, or platies, or siamese fighting fish, or harlequin rasboras, or sterbai corys, or pitbull plecs, or Bosemani Rainbowfish, or..... can you see what I mean?

How's about you go window shopping in your favourite fish shops, write down the names of the fish that you like the look of, then come back and post them up? There are loads of people on here who derive great pleasure from advising people how to optimise their stocking in that way.

But to just say "What can I have?" - it's your tank, it needs to have what you like, not what I like.

i wouldnt have to be just micky mouse platys. a mix of platy would be considered

OK from that list, I'd go with 6 panda cories (simply because they are smaller than the albinos, so you can have more other stuff), 6 harlequins, 6 silvertips and 4 platies (1m, 3f).

That's just because I'm not a big barb fan, so you could swap a shoal of either barb for either of the harlequins or silvertips quite easily.
