Sorry for the late reply. Remember the more plants you have the more fish you can generally stock. Just take it slow too much change at once from this point on can cause problems.
I understand my old house was close to sea level and if we got a hurricane or a hard rain we had trouble too. It always scares me that I might introduce something in my drain field.
Is there a reason you don't have a python? I used a bucket for 16 years and always thought of a great invention I could make. one day I realized it was already made (python)!
As long as you keep up with maintenance you will be fine. Get a couple more Corys and figure out what "show fish" you want. Do you have any plants? What temp, plants, and hardness do you have?
You're good. Trust me you will want more.The only thing I suggest is not getting that whole stock at once. Also I would recommend plants because..... I always recommend plants and also some sort of algae control. Your stocking will be good as long as you don't put everything in at once cycle...
Nerite snails are good for brown algae. I have a 5 gallon that was littered with it I put him in 2 days later it was completely gone. I also agree with what other people said about live plants they balance out everything.
Put your servings of food in a daily pill holder. You can get them from the dollar store for super cheap. My brother in law ( Total idiot) feeds 5 of my tanks with different diets in each with this method with no problems. Depending on how long you are gone I would just do a normal water change...
