I have a 135 gallon tank ready to go.. 6x18x24

I plan on doing a schooling/community tank looking for advice so I dont over stock! My thoughts of doing were

20x cardinal tetras
20x red cherry barbs
20x red small shrimp
Corydoras?
I was thinking off adding a school of corydoras, im not sure how many? Would that be over stocked for a 135 planted tank?

That should be fine, if you plant the tank densely you will probably have many more shrimp before long. Small fish in big tank look can be very impressive.

Awesome! I'm excited to have big schools of fish, I hear it's cool seeing big schools swimming together in a large tank.

This is just a thought, would a group african dwarf frogs work as well? Or would they go after the shrimp and little shrimp that appear?

they would probably go after the shrimplets, but they may be too slow to catch many of them. The dwarfs frogs are pretty clumsy
 
I would love to have a little school of them but don't want any issues for my shrimp so it's probably best I just leave them out.
