Your list are fine but 1 species can grow up to 6 inches that's Torpedo Barbs (Denision Barb) so it's might be tight for long run. For schooling then usually they stay close to each other but with their own type. Shipping fish are fine but the cost will be high.
I do have a 6ft tank when they big enough. I will be buying them at 5-6cm as price goes way up by the cm.would that stocking be fully stocked or get away with something else? What alternatives was you thinking of? As for shipping costs if found a place where fish are almost half price or less that local pet shops. As I'm buying fish in bulk as such adding shipping still works out a lot cheaper. I just don't like the idea but I hear a lot of good things
If vendor you buying fish has good reputation then nothing to worry, fish do die if somthing went wrong with the shipping carrier but very rare though, the vendor always replace dead fish if you give them the proof within the limit time they gave you to report.
I was hesitant about buying fish online too and have only done it once but the a. Festea I bought from a reputable eBay seller are very nice and and where in transit for 3 days. Not a lot to worry about and you can usually find better fish for a cheaper price than the lfs but nothing beats that impulse buy and taking it home now, lol.
I like this stock list combination. Large schools of small fish do look awesome. And, yes, the Dennisons get to 6" but as long as you have a 6 foot tank ready for them you should be fine. With those numbers I wouldn't add much more to the stocking, maybe some cories for the bottom.
