I have a 25 Gallon tank with
5 Platys
2 Cory cat fish
1 Betta
A few plants, and two pieces of driftwood.

Would I be able to add a few more cat fish since I see they like to stick together without over stocking the tank? Or a few (~5) neon tetras?

Maybe 3 more corydoras, they really are interesting to watch in groups. After that I would consider the tank stocked and would start concentrating on keeping up with regular water changes and enjoying watching the fish.

Sounds like good plan. At least until the platys breed.

The platys have bread already, and I have the fry in a sperate 5.5 Gallon tank, with 3 more 20 Gallon tanks on the way for the future fry. (see sig)

I was leaning towards 2 or 3 more corys (three lined corys) to keep the 2 I have happy. I would also like to know if it would be worth it to get some tetras, or if I would need more tetras then I can house in the tank.
