Hi Jason!
 
What are your water parameters, without I cannot give u a meaningful answer. But be aware that corys prefer soft water while livebearers usually like hard water. So you would not keep them in the same tank.
 
Never buy any baloon fish! Those are torment breedings.
 
Corys should be kept in groups of at least 5. Mollys and guppies don't like beeing on their own either. My hint to beginners: fish keeping is not like collecting stamps, or at least every stamp needs its own tank :) Less is more! Per tank you should only keep 1-3 species. It is always preferable to have less species but larger numbers of individuals.
