Can you help can I keep together
5 zebra danios
5 rasbora harlequins
3 five banded barbs
2 clown loachs
2 dwarf otocinclus
2 harald Schultz corydoras
And
2 cockatoo cilards 1 male 1 female
In a 26 gallon tank with plants
 
Are you sure too much these are uk gallons pretty much a gallon a fish well planted. how come I need more than 2 corys?
 
Oh well you'd probably be good. You can get away with a little more just add them slowly over time and not all at once. Like one group every couple weeks. And corys are schooling fish that live in groups of hundreds in the amazon
 
Some fish require buddies. Corys, loaches and otos really like numbers in their schools in order for them to keep healthy and happy. This is where lots of species research prior to purchase comes in handy.

Oh, and toss that 1 gallon per fish thing. It's a bunch of hogwash.
 
Are you sure too small pretty much more than a uk gallon a fish? How come more than 2 cores?
 
Welcome to Aquarium Advice! The corys will probably live longer if kept in larger groups because they are not as stressed:)
 
If clown loaches are those black and yellowish striped ones then those get too big for your tank. And no they wouldn't school together
