its always better to get a bigger tank but that would be ok even with the corys. i would keep in mind that danios like a lot of room to swim.
 
Compromise and say 15 gallons! You can certainly fit 6 zebra danios (modified and unmodified) and 3 small corydoras in a tank that size. I wouldn't put the danios in anything smaller.
 
glofish and zebra danios are technically the same fish... but I'm not sure if they'd school together. you *might* need 5 of each if they won't school together, I'd suggest a litt;e more research before deciding.

I would suggest the 20gallon instead, danios are VERY active fish. you could have 4 corydoras then with them in the 20gallon for sure :)
have you checked out kuhli loaches? I personally prefer them over the cories.
 
I would like:

3 Glofish
3 Zebra danios

Those I would like for certain.

However, would an additional 3 small corydoras be too much? I think it is, but I'm at a loss as to what else to put in. I plan on a 10 gallon, and will get a 20 if I must, but only if. What other fish do you suggest with the above in a 10 gallon, if it's too much? I want something interesting and cheap.

Thanks. :3
I know glofish are modified zebras. :)

I also have an incredibly limited selection of fish suppliers, and I wanted loaches at first, but there aren't any around here.
I've got Wal-mart and a small pet shop. The next nearest is a 60 mile drive.

The tank should have a gallon for every fish you have in it. So the 9 fish you want would be perfect in a 10 gallon tank. But if you want more than 10 then you will need a 20 gallon tank. I would suggests buying neon fish, they are kinda of neat and cheap.
