I have a ten gallon tank with five small(under 3 inch fish in it) I don't know if I can add more or not. If I can I would add a dwarf gourami for some color because most of my fish are silver and I want more colors. So it would be awesome if you could tell me soon so I could buy the new fish within the next month if I can fit them in!

what are your current fish and are they fully grown?

 

[OpalineAqua]

Yeah. They're fully grown, I think. I have 3 cory cats and 2 beacon fish. Like I said, they're not very colorful.

 

[mwood2]

I would suggest upping the cory to 5-7 since they dont have much of a bio load. A Gourami would be fine in there, any dwarf could work. I think you may perhaps be able to even fit 2 in there.

If you want something really colourful, try a shoal of Endlers.

Dwarf Gouramis can be prone to bacterial infections. They can be fine for months and then BAM.

For something small in the way of a gourami, a pair of sparkling gouramis could work very well.If the tank is relatively recently set up, I'd let your tank mature for a few more months though before adding them just to be sure everything has settled and is stable

The aforementioned Endlers are also a good choice, a shoal of 8 males would look very nice and will without doubt brighten the tank. I always think they look like a small kid went ballistic with a couple of neon pens on their skin

Or if you want something with a bit more personality, a group of 5 female Siamese fighters would work. They don't have the long flashy fins of the males but are equally as pretty IMO and very entertaining and friendly.

Honey Gouramis are also a hardy choice that are nice and bright and remain small as dwarfs (or so ive read)
