I have a 10 gallon tank that's been running awhile without issue, and its current residents are 2 striped corys (I'm planning on getting a few more), 5 endlers and 3 guppies, all male. I don't want to overcrowd and I've been going off the stores suggestions so far but I figured I'd ask here too. The guppies were just added today along with some new decor, so I'll probably wait a few days before getting anything new to let things settle. I think I have most of the technical aspects taken care of so that's not the advice I'm looking for, just wondering what species would play nice with what I got! Thanks!
 
IMO, add 2-3 more corys, as they're a schooling species, and call it good. a 10g tank doesn't have much room for large groups of fish. You could maybe add 1-2 more male guppies, or 3-4 more endlers if you keep up on your maintenance, but certainly no more than that. Or, possibly a female betta if you don't add more guppies or endlers.
 
I agree with adding a few more corys. I have a very similar tank, it has 6 male endlers, 4 Pygmy raspora, and about 15 cherry red shrimp. In my opinion guppy are hit and miss. Check out the Pygmys if you have them available to you!
