no clue how big niagra minnows get but i think u could increase the 2 schools of tetras and cories to 8.

welcome to the forum. You could have three more each of each species save for the bristlenose, since it suits the species in groups of six much better. However, I believe your minnows are a temperate species, and are somewhat inappropriate for a tropical tank. If you omitted the minnows, you could have six corys and 18 serpae, plus a dozen Cardinal Tetras.
