So after my tank is cycled (90% there FINALLY) I plan on adding a single male dwarf gourami to it, however I feel like it will look a little empty, so I thought of options:

Another fish? no, to much bioload and one dwarf gourami is already pushing the limit for a 10 gallon.

Snails! No, again, too much and limited choices at LFS and I already added 4 of those snails with the long swirly shell (pond snails?) to eat dead plant matter and one small mystery snail to keep the glass clean.

So, why not shrimp!
I have fallen in love with cherry shrimps! The way they scurry on the floor picking at things!
Has anyone had any experiences with dwarf gourami and shrimp?
 
It will probably eat a few...but as long as you have plenty of places for them to hide you should be able to keep them together with minimal losses
