10 gallon stocking..

[Morgie]

suggestions?
Currently my 10g has
1x Dwarf Gourami (full grown)
3x Peppered Corydoras
3x Dwarf Peppered Corydoras

I'm planning on moving my cories to my 20g, as I know they'd appreciate the extra floor space. That will leave me with my DG in the 10g alone. What would you put in there with him?

How bout a school of micro-fish? That'd look cool

I'm currently looking at some! I'm browsing some dwarf rasboras and tetras. I'm definitely going to want to redesign my tank to make sure I can keep my DG comfortable. Probably going to start planting it.

Just to get a few ideas for you:
Pygmy hatchets
Ember tetras
Celestial pearl danios
Chilli rasboras

Just food for thought

I've decided I want to do a mini india/burmese biotope aquarium.
So far I have my stocking list as:
1x DG
5x Celestial pearl danios

I've still got room for another small school, I believe.
Any suggestions?
Before I add anything else I'm going to get my tank nice and planted.

I think neon tetras are neat. You could do like 5 of those

Why don't you just fill out the Cpd school instead?

id do rasboras!

Edit: Totally meant to say "India/Burma" biotope, corrected now, sorry about that oops.

I think it really just depends on what fish I find and when. If the LFS has a lot of cpd I'll probably just get one large school of those, if they only have five or six I'd make another school. I'm just trying to make a list of possibilities I can flip between depending on what I can find.

Yeah, I think thats a good idea. In a 10 gallon tank, you don't really want too many schools. The cdp are awesome, so stick with a larger school of them. You could keep the dwarf corys in the 10 gallon if you want and just fill out the school to at least 4 to have all layers of the tank filled (even though they are not from India).

Are cpds good for a community tank? I was actually considering some too lol

Yes there they are. Just watch that no tankmates are big enough to eat them. ie. avoid angels!
