Hi, the Molly fry are going to get too big for that tank, as are the Corys (which should be in a bigger shoal anyway)

Adding Danios to a small tank is not a good idea either as they are very active and need lots of swimming space.

Suggestions......(either, not both of course!)

Endlers and Pigmy Corys.

A Betta (Siamese Fighter) providing filter current is not too strong

Remember rule of thumb......6 gallons mean 6" of fish (allowing for growth)

In fish keeping size does matter

I agree with Doresy. If you take out your platies, you can alsohave some nice microrasboras, such as Boraras maculatus, or the galaxy rasbora. The latter I would only buy if you can assure it is locally bred, as this species is endangered due to overcollection
