Well you should realy keep corys in a group of at least six, but with a 72 litre tank already holding 10 tatras I dont think you will manage it.

Just posted something similar on another thread. Im about to stock a 72 with six, possibly 8 Corys with a couple of shrimp, and that seems to be considered borderline for my setup, even with a heater and filter close to double whats needed.

I think you would be ok with 6 corys with the 10 neons as both are low on the bioload.

You could always get some pygmy corys. You could probably have more then.

You'd be fine to add 6-10 Corydoras, I'd be tempted to go for one of the 3 dwarf species: Corydoras pygmaeus, Corydoras hastatus and Corydoras habrosus.

I agree with the 2 above, if you get the dwarf varieties then you can get 10 in there without a problem
