Default cory cats with zebra danios?

Is it ok to keep cory cats with zebra danios? I want to say I've seen somewhere that cory cats should be kept with less active fish. My tank is 10 gallons and I currently have 4 zebra danios. I'm hoping to add a few cory cats in a month or so once my tank is finished cycling. Then maybe a few Platy's sometime later.

Oops sorry no one replied yet.
I've never kept danios so I wouldn't know but I'd think it'd be ok. As long as they don't attack the cories it should be fine. Keep in mind not to overstock your tank.
1 inch of fish per gallon of water.
Cories can get 2in. or larger.

I've got zebras, but they really don't seem to mess with anyone...not even each other. At least not like the barbs. I had corys a long time ago in my guppy tank...they just kinda hung out and did their thing...didn't really seem bothered by any of the other fish.

I've got a few of both in my 55 and they seem fine. I'd say 99% of the time the corys are on the bottom, and the zebras are chasing each other around near the surface, each in their own worlds

Both are extreamely peaceful fish. Just be careful, Cories like to be in groups of 4 or more and a 10G can get kind of crowded.
