Did I Overstock?

The bottom of the tank sounds quite crowded but it doesn't sound over-stocked to me, just make sure you don't fill up the bottom of the tank with too much decor (although make sure you have some to help provide some cover for the fish) :thumbs: .

edit: By the way, what gender/s are your platys?
 
The only thing I'd suggest is that cories like to be in groups of at least 6 of the same species. They become much more lively in groups! Looks like a fun tank otherwise. Watch for aggression from the gourami, mine picked on all of my other fish. You should post some pics if you can, I'd love to see your tank!

they are male and female i believe.

All of my corydoras hang out together. they dont seem to care who they are with, they school together regardless of race lol the emerald ones though, are a little shy and would probably be better in 6 or more. also, i have pics of my tank in the aquarium pictures forum. thanks!!!

ps. the dwarf gourami is SUPER friendly, unless i put another gourami in the tank (Which i tried, and does not work at all lol)
 
Looks like you have a pretty nice stocking amount at the moment. I wouldn't really add anymore fish. I know what you mean with your cories. I tried to get at least 4 of the same breed in a group and they end up bunching up with the 2 from a different breed. Funny little guys, but cute!
 
A nice mix you have there now Dave :D If you have platys of each sex it won't be long before you're a new pop ;)
