Spoken to my lfs and aw advisor and going with: 6-8 cardinal tetras 1 honey gourami 2 platys (to help cycle) 4 pygmy cories (wanted panda but they took me over filter limit) Hope this will be ok. Who/ how long will it take to get them all in?

Thanks you all so much for your help. Is there any particular order these should go in?

Yep I'll be adding the platys first and then taking my time. Looks like pencil and platys are ok together and I can add another cory according to aqadvisor Do you go to fish shops or buy online? How can I buy what I want?
