    Wow, that's quite a mix.
    I gotta warn ya that the guppy and platy will probably get attacked by the various tetras (tetras are fin nippers and so are barbs).

    Just curious, but with the dragon goby and the silver dollar...are you keeping the tank brackish (some aquarium salt in the water) or are you having luck with keeping them strictly freshwater.

    I had a dragon goby a good while back, but unfortunately it didn't do well with the low pH that I tend to run (6.0)...Really neat creatures though! You have to see them with frozen bloodworms...quite a "feeding" site :)

    Oh, and in case you were looking for some really cool cory's (they do soo much better in schools) I thought I'd share this online store/site that I came across--> http://www.nbmaquatics.com/stock/corys/
