Eh, not really. That’s just too many fish.. especially with the possibility of your platys reproducing. A good rule of thumb is one inch of fish per gallon of tank. Plecos can also get huge. Platys and tetras are community fish.. very non-aggressive. Gouramis and rams, however, are aggressive. Pick one or the other. I’d go with the community fish. They’re cheap and easy.
