Hi there, first post. I've been looking on reddit and here for some answers and thought actually it might be best to ask instead. 
Just got a new community tank, I've had tanks before but only really kept bettas or shrimp but wanted something a bit more mixed this time now I've got the space with a recent move.
It's all fully cycled, it's the aquaone 110 (max volume of 123L but I assume its marketing it as a 110L once substrate is in etc)
Dimensions: 63W x 38D x 55H cm
So far I've got:
4 x Julii Corys
3 x Assassin Snails
4 x Purple Emperor Tetras
4 x Emperor Tetras
4 x Amano shrimp (Pregnant female but I'm assuming not much will come from that, she was accidentally bought pregnant)
My first question is whether I need to get more of either tetra - I only just got the Emperors today and didn't realise until I was home that they're different to the purple emperors. Will they school together? Or should I have 6 of each instead of 4? I'm hoping to see them as a school of 8 generally but if I have to get more for them to thrive then I will.
My other question is that I've been using aqadvisor and I've seen some differing thoughts on it's stocking and how accurate it is. I was hoping to get:
6-8 male Guppies
3-4 Pepper Corys (or more Julii, I just like the idea of differences but if it wouldn't work then let me know)
Cherry Shrimp
Would this be ok? Could I still get a few more fish or would that push it into overstock like aqadvisor seems to think?
The shop today seemed to suggest that Male Guppies only was the way to go (I don't want to run the risk of fry) but some places have said that only males may cause issues? I just really wanted to get some opinions. Better safe than sorry and all that.
Anyway, that's the gist of it. I know that I should probably stick to one or two but I really like the idea of a community of lots of different fish. I hoped Corys, Tetras and Guppys weren't too much to handle in the scheme of things. I just hadn't meant to get two types of tetra along the way.
