Does this look ok for a first tank? I'm currently fishless cycling right now. Also what order is best in getting them?

Equipment:

Tank: (45gUS) Filters: 2x Tetra Whisper EX45

Selected species: [Edit Species]

6 x Panda Cory (Corydoras panda)
1 x Dwarf Gourami (Colisa lalia)
7 x White Skirt Tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi)
7 x Glo Fish (Danio rerio)
7 x Green Fire Tetra (Aphyocharax rathbuni)
1 x Swordtail [Male]

You have plenty of aquarium filtration capacity.

Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 172%. Recommended water change schedule: 23% per week. Your aquarium stocking level is 94%.

I would say you could add a few more. Also, I find two mid schooling fish to be the perfect balance. Three and it would be a giant cluster

Instead of having so many schooling fish, why don't you add a couple show fish like Rams or an Angel. The will get along with the rest of the stock you have.
 
I think that an Angel or two would make your tank stunning.
