Gourami in 10 gallon?

[aquazen]

Is it alright to keep a gourami in a 10 gallon? He/she would be with 4 pygmy cats (1"max), a couple of tiny shrimp, and 4 endlers. They won't eat the shrimp will they?

one gourami in a 10 should be fine, although a dwarf species is prefferable. Some gouramis will eat the shrimp, so make sure you have lots of plants (live or fake) and other hiding spots for the shrimp.

Thank you kindly.
