Would your LFS trade straight across so you could have a group of one species? Maybe explain what you have learned. It would not necessarily cost either party any money.

The fish shop i use is an hour and a half away, maby i can get another panda and another peppered cory and then have two of each. is my tank big enough for this(61 31 46). they seem to get on fairly well at the moment

I think your tank would be big enough for two of each, but Larry's suggestion would be better, get four (minimum) of one type.

When you say new tank, I assume you have cycled the tank. Don't add too many fish at once, your filters will not be able for the ammonia load from the fish, it will take about 4 weeks to build up enough bacteria to deal with all the fish.
