Cheers, Eric

Welcome to PC, you mentioned you have two tanks, the QT (good to see that you're starting out on the right track), what tank are the sterbai cories in. The 125 litre could house some more of the sterbai cories, depending on your stocking plans and whether you are saving up room for other planned fish. A slightly larger group of cories looks better in how the cories interact, they do prefer to be in a larger group, but 4 is ok. However if the 4 are in the QT tank, I'd wait for the QT time to be completed. Then get some more rather than add any more now to the QT, potentially introducing a problem for the four you have.
Thanks Teresa

They are in the main tank now 125L.
I'll like to get more but I think I already overstocked it. It is fine for now but I think it will be overstocked when they all get to adult size.

QT only has the 4 guppies now.

Main tank
4x sterbai cory
6x pygmy cory
6x cardinal tetra
10 harlequin rasbora
10x rummy nose tetra
5x red cherry shrimp

most are around 10mm-15mm long
