Was thinking 10 emerald dwarf rasbora, 10 chilli rasbora ,6 pygmy corys, cherry shrimp and a nerite snail.
If by emerald dwarf rasbora you mean the species Celestichthys erythromicron they need a basic pH (above 7). More here:

I would also up the cories to 8-10. This species always does better the more there are. Didn't mention it previously so in case it was not considered, sand substrate is necessary for these and cooler temperatures, around 75F (24C). The Boraras rasbora will be fine with this. I had a group of 12 Boraras brigittae (thee chilli) and 9 Corydoras pygmaeus in a 10g for a time and they did very well.
So would you recommend any other type of rasbora?
Galaxy rasbora be ok?
Tank is nearly ready.so would 20 chilli rasbora and 10 pygmy Cory be ok
