Please Don't Think I'm An Idiot For Asking, But

In a 10-gal heavily planted tank, would 2 honeys, 2 sparkling and 3 croaking gouramis live happily?
I've had the first 2 kinds together in the tank for about a year now, and am needing to find a new home for the croaking gouramis... hoping they can slip in there.
Any thoughts?

I'm afraid I'd say they couldn't go in there. Croaking gouramies are bigger than sparklers but, regardless of the actual stocking level, I think that would be just too many gourami personalities in too small a space.

I had to separate my sparklers from my honeys (originally in a 10 gal tank) because the sparklers were getting too feisty - they're now doing their best to boss an angelfish about in a 20 gal tank.

Too many Gourami's in one small tank...

Well, it's was worth a shot! Thanks for the advice!
