I have a 10g with

4 Red eye Tetras
4 Fake Dwarf Hair Grass
2 Diffrent kind of real Amazon Swords
Whisper 20 Filter
50w Submergable heater

I was wondering could I add 4 small sized corys?

1. Will it be over stocked?
2. Will the Tetras try to eat the corys?
 
The red eye tetras get to be as big as 3 inches. By my way of looking at things, you may not be overstocked yet but the next fish would probably do it.
 
You arent overstocked, but red-eye tetras can get rather large, so i think eventually they wont have enough room to swim.
Red eyes can also be a bit nippy.

I would switch to smaller tetras (black phantom? neon?) and get the cories =)
 
I agree I would definitely pass on the red eye. They will shred your other fishes find. There kind of like tiger barbs.
