Add fish as you can, it's important to keep things stable. Think of Gouramis as Betta cousins...territorial and not a schooling fish. I would return 2 of them. Otherwise you may see some bullied to death.
I prefer same species of Cory. A big group will play great together. Greens, Corydoras aeneus, color up great. They get pretty chunky too.
Were they labeled Green or Emerald Green ?
Green aka Bronze are typically C aeneus.
Emeralds are a Cory cousin Brochis splendens. They get bigger.

Are your Platies and Mollies males ? Or mixed ? If you have females they'll add more themselves.

At Petsmart they were just labeled Green Cory but the tag stated they were splendens. I remember that because I was trying to decide between them and the albino corys and was trying to figure out the specifics and had to see what their Latin name was to get that information. I will get more of them. I'm not picky about the type I put in there. I had just noticed they had another variety called the Melini (sp?) that looked interesting but I would rather have happy corys than the variety.
I thought everyone was male in the tank (at least according to google). The only ones I wasn't sure of the gender was the zebra danios, mostly because they kept moving so fast I couldn't identify them fast enough. The gentleman that took the catfish and pleco, texted me later and said he found a fry in there as well but it was too small to tell what fish it was. I haven't seen any fry and I'm assuming most get eaten right away but it means I'm not sure who is breeding. Based on what I read after googling, I have to assume it is the zebra danios breeding and not any of the others. On the other hand, I could be very mistaken. The two platys left have gotten really fat but I just thought I was overfeeding them too much. Any idea of a reliable method of telling male from female other than trusting a random google site?
