Forced To Downsize

[Bojangles]

Really in need of some space right now untill i move in with my girlfriend next year so had to downsize from my 16 gallon tank to a 10 gallon tank dont sound like a big downgrade but it makes that bit extra space

Anyways i currently have

2 Dwarf Gouramis
3 Albino Corys
3 Peppered Corys

Will these be ok in there?

Also could i add anything more in the future?

Yeah, I was gona say 6 neon tetras would go well with that. And a shrimp or 2 would be good too, as they have only a very small bioload.

The shrimp I have is called a singapore wood shrimp, aka flower shrimp.
Looks sort of like this : [URL="http/farm2.static.flickr.com/1006/846656376_d925840b8a.jpg"]http/farm2.static.flickr.com/1006/846656376_d925840b8a.jpg[/URL]

The good thing about it is instead of pincers, it has these danelion like flower arms, which are basically hundereds of hairs pointing out in a circle. They have 4 of these arms. And the best part yet, is that they are used to catch water bound algae, so your water pretty much can't turn green with one of those chaps in your tank

You won't see it much because it like't to hide and come out at night, plus it cost me £10. But it was a worthy investment (plus I'm sure you could get one cheaper)
