So I just setup a new 10 gallon tank today and still can't decide on a stock list. I started with the idea of moving my one of my bettas and adding some buddies for him, but then I just felt like that would limit my choices because of his aggression. Plus, I also really want a Dwarf Gourami so it was a one or the other type of decision. So I decided on the Gourami. I love my bettas, but they are gonna rule their own tanks for now. So here's what I want so far, but can't think of more that would add some color and variety that I like.

1 Dwarf Gourami
4 Panda Corydoras

HELP ME !!! :hyper:
Anyways here is the tank. I took this pic before the heater and filter, but they are in the back left and right corners respectively.

Sorry, just thought it would grab people's attention to reply with actual insight into the question I asked. Maybe you should message the admin about taking the color option away since it has a negative impact instead.
 
With it being a 10 gal i would get Pygmy/Dwarf Cories instead of pandas for 2 reasons:

Pandas are very sensitive so do better in larger more mature tanks.
4 is not an ideal shoal, Pygmys/Dwarfs you could happily have upto 8 :good:

PS be sure to pop down to be Betta section show off your guys :D

Thanks. I'll get the pygmy cories instead. And don't worry, I've already shown off my boys in the betta section!!!
 
How about a sea sponge, a starfish, a squid and a squirrel lol, sorry couldn't resist my son now wants your tank after seeing the spongebob house.

I know right! That wasn't part of my original design, but my nephew loves Spongebob so I had to get it. It adds some character I think!
 
I went and got my Corydoras today! They are so cute. It's the first time I've owned cories and I love how sprightly they are. I will be getting a few Guppies and a Dwarf Gourami. I can't wait! This is the first time I've owned any of these fish. I've had Mollies, Goldfish and Bettas, but this is a totally new experience and I'm super excited. I'm getting new babies all over again :)

here is one of "The Cories"
