10 gallon troubles.

I'd get 3 smaller cories and get 4-5 Dario Dario(scarlet badis)

Dario Dario are definitely nice fish. But they are VERY picky when it comes to food. Be ready to go through a lot of trial and error with those guys.

I really like the scarlet badis. Does any one have a picture for size reference compared to a Cory or something. I just can't imagine having 6 of them in a tank along with 3 or so Cory. They must be pretty small.

They get only like 1-1.5 inches.

Scarlet Badis are VERY territorial, NOT social !
You can definitely have a few SB's in a heavily planted tank so they can set up territories.

I have a pair in a 10g. I would not try adding more. I tried a second Male and he got bullied.

That depends... My friend has 6 in a 10 gallon... They've been fine for quite a while.

Borderlesscott has 6 scarlet badis and cherry shrimp in a 10g without problems.

I've seen multiple SBs in a tank. Just saying YMMV. My subordinate male didn't have enough cover. I'd had some plant issues and my Jungle is thinned out.
