Personally I would not do the dwarf gourami. A sparkling gourami is a more appropriately sized fish (but I rarely see them now days), or perhaps a honey gourami (although even those would be better in a ten gal). I would recommend most of the nano fish already mentioned such as the cpds, ember tetras, microrasboras, clown killies, or even spotted blue eyed rainbows. You could do any of those with a pretty big colony of cherry shrimp. Sadly those fish are not always very easy to find, and in that case something like a betta might be the best option. Sorry if you mentioned this but are you going with live plants?
I will try to. I'm not sure yet. Do the two gallon difference between the ten and the eight make that much of a difference when it comes to types of fish it can handle?
