A lot ha... a sword tail,Betta, red tail shark, platy, two tettra with yellow and black fins, and a few other I can't remember... 10 total my aquarium store was very particular. It can support all of them with out overcrowding.

Your store was incorrect
The red tail needs 75 gals
The swordtails need 40 gals
The tetras need a school of six or more and 20-30 gals depending on if hey are disc shaped or streamlined
Can we have pics of the unknowns? We can help you id them so you can get the properly sized tank for them or rehome them
The platy will be fine in it
The betta should be but have backup just in case

Wait- are your tetras they pink ones seen in the third photo? Those are white skirt tetras and need 40 gallons and a school of 6

Does this plague look pregnant.... she ballooned this last week...

Oh dear, there may be trouble ahead - I would take a lot of the fish back and go to an independent fish store who don't just want to make money out of you next time. The Red Tail Shark alone needs around 45 gallons.

75 is the minimum IMHO

200l is way enough for a Red Tail Shark - On it's own, no tank mates. 45 imperial gallons, roughly about 55 gallons.

A Red Tail Shark may be aggressive, you give it an extra amount of gallonage, but 75Gs is excessive. A 55 is fine. They only get 5-6". Although a bigger tank is always better.

A Swordtail, also somewhat aggressive is fine in a 30G and will enjoy the 55.

Most Tetras need 20 Gallon Longs but some do need 30G + as stated.

Betta and Platy are fine.

When you get the 55, hopefully soon, I would up the school of the tetras to about 8, give the Swordtail some friends as well as the Platy. Red Tail Sharks are territorial so I would keep bottom feeders to a minimum.

Nice tank...!
