If you want cories you need atleast 6 if not more... and in a 7 gal. that ia an impossibility. I think the only thing you can keep in there is a betta.

Your right, there are fish but you would have to look into nano fish. You could keep 5 Ember Tetras or 5 Chilly Rasbora and 3 Sparkling Gouramis (1M=2F) and a Khuli Loach and even that might be too much. But Coties are a definate no-no. The smallest cory, the pygmy cory should be in tanks of 45 litre or over. Normal size cories should be in tank of 75 litre or over.

i assume you removed the filter while you cleaned with vinegar? have you tested the water?

(i think you need a bigger tank )
