think you will find if the frogs are clawed and not African dwarf frogs ADF your other tankmates will become frog food

Depends how long you've had the tank, whether it's established or new, how big it is etc

I just finished cycling it (I have had it for a month and a bit) and it is 66 litres.

corys are not teritorial and i dont think guppys are so as long as the tanks ready then i dont see a problem with adding them first. i added dwarf gouramis into my tank first and they were right bullies, thought they owned the tank until i sorted it......

Yep.. be really careful with this one, ADF is the one you want for a community. They have webbing on their front feet as well as their back, and they never come in albino colouring. ACF are bad, they are aggressive and grow large, will harm your fish... they do not have webbing on their front feet, instead they have claws.

They've got you covered on the frogs (the most important and urgent thing I'd think) and I believe all the fish you list are plenty hardy enough to be "first introductions" after a fishless cycle. I might introduce the guppies just a bit later than the others but there's no real logic to that, lol. Oh, also, I'm not familiar with the scwartz variety of corys, so don't know, but the peppers are a larger and hardier type so should be fine.
