Sounds a tad overstocked to me for a 30g, but it could work. I'd bring the Cories and Neons up to atleast 6. It would be great for a 55g.

that in my opinion would be overstocked without the gouramis unless in a 55g amd even then i would say no gouramis instead how bout

6 white clouds
6 neons
3 oto
6 cory
2 rams
a trio of live bearers two female and one male (livebearer=platy guppy molly but i would go with platys molys guppyys or wordtails if i was you no mollies

In a well planted 55g it would be a nice stocking. I'd stick with just 1 gourami or no gouramis. 2 is a crowd. They do best singly or in a group and you really don't have any more room for a group.

well mollys do better in brackish i think so i woulnt do them in freshwater...they are pretty though! in a 50g planted i would DEFINITLY do a siamese flying fox! they may be my favorite fish very peaceful and fun to watch in my opinion they flick there tail and glide in the water it is soo cool! plus if leaves of your plants get algea on them he will suck it off. mine has been alive like 6 years 2 of them in a 10g unfortunatly and he is doing great!
