Do you have a plan in action for if the livebearers mate and overrun your tank with fry? If not, skip 'em. Livebearers such as platies and mollies are notorious for breeding at will and having births of several live young.

if you want all that it's going to be more then 10 gallons a algea eater get's up to 11 inches ,mollies up to 4 in. ,platys up to 3 in. ,neon tetras up to .85 in. , and barbs it depends but a tiger barbis to agressive for platies and mollies .so eather upgrade alot more or don't buy some fish exemple-1 mollies and 6 neon tetras ex: 3 platys another ex:12 neon tetras ex:7 tiger barbs and thats all the examples i have oh and you can get a male and female betta . lower you expectations some and remember the 1 gallon per 1 in. of fish rule this rule exempts goldfish.

and an apple snail.

the barbs get to 3 inches..if youre talkin bout tiger barbs. and they also need to be in 6+ more groups. same with the tetras. plus theyre aggressive-6 neon tetras3-5 corydorasgood luck
