aside from the gourami all the fish you mentioned are schooling fish. Your tank probably isnt big enough for groups of all of them youll have to make choices. The barbs can be nippy and your tetras and platys wont like that. Shrimp plus cories I wouldnt do and 100% any baby shrimp will be eaten...

Air stone is always recommended. Its cheap helps oxygenate tank and is important to circulation. The air bubbles bring water from bottom to top of tank

Male mollies are very aggressive with each other so expect fighting and any sick fish will need to be separated or they will likely be bullied. Sound like it all should be fine. Since your water parameters are a bit out you might be overfeeding or your filtration isn't enough. You should do a...

Theres alot of already sick mollies if you bought from petshop. Did you cycle the tank before adding the fish? They will need more filtration than your bettas, they are heavy waste producers so adding all of them at once can be a strain on your cycle. On top of that healthy mollies are rather...

Wondering if you guys can help identify problems with my planted tank. Completely low tech, plants have always done well and Anubias even flowers occasionally. I have never dosed anything however my stocking level is probably about half what it used to be so maybe thats it? Pic of anubias...
