Hi, I have a 150g kinda planted aquarium with
6 tiger barbs, 2 rosy barbs, 2 pearl gourami and 2 opaline gourami

Should I put some corydoras one day even if my floor a gravel under pebbles floor?

As long as the gravel/pebbles are not sharp you should be fine, sand would be great, but what you have will also work.

If sand is good can i add sand on the top of these pebbles/gravel ? I have 2''1/2 inch of pebble/gravel and if i add till 3'' with sand would that be ok?

sand would suit them best,i use larger smooth stones and my corys love them but alot of people on this site have great sucess keeping corys on the smaller type gravel.

The sand will eventually fall between the gravel and end up under it.

so i should put sand till it fill all the spaces?

If it were me and I wanted sand.... I would remove the gravel first.

I have gravel in my 150 and have 10 cory's with no problems

you could go fancy and put part of a tank divider, maybe 2.5 inches tall, in your tank with all the gravel on one side, and then put sand on the other, creating a sandy bed that would really add to your tank
