Overcrowding Question. Dont Want To Make A Mistake.

[tinamonster]

hey guys!
I'm new to the whole fish thing and I'm getting way too excited about it,
and want to keep getting more fish but I dont want to make a huge mistake by overcrowding.

I have a 10 gl tank with 2 female balloon mollies and 3 male guppies.
I'd like to know if I could add any more fish?
I'm thinking about neon tetras because they are small.
Or is it already overcrowded the way it is?

how about adding some bottom dwellers like pygmy corys so they have more relative swimming space? ( your balloon mollies and guppies use the middle/upper levels mostly, and so will neons, whereas corys are bottom dwellers, very cute and playful, and will clean up any missed food).

Your current stocking is pretty good.

Adding neons IMO would make it pretty crowded. Especially when you consider you need to get a school/shoal of neons.
