Ok, three guppies will be fine in the 10 gallon. However, Corys need to be in groups of more than two, at the very least 3-4, and with the guppies in there you will have to stay with the smaller cories I believe the gourami will be fine, but he may chase the guppies around.
Are you planning on having three male guppies, or will you have some females too? If you have females be prepared to have fry!

EDIT: And as for the two tetras together, they also really need to be in bigger groups. Consider getting a few more to make them more comfortable.

well my sister has two in her tank and i love to watch them they are very interesting and fun to watch, well different sites have seen have different things about them like the size of them but mostly all have said that they can go in the same tank with a neon blue dwarf gourami, and my lil blue seems very lonly but i dont want another gourami in there, so is it ok to put the balloon molly in there with him and two guppies

i have now 10g
1 neon blue dwarf gourami
2 african dwarf frogs( which decide the take out so they can have their own tank, they are messy)but i love em

replace frogs with corys but i cant find the ones i want at the pet store here they dont sell them might have to order them, i want the salt and pepper cory

If someone is rude to you its better to report the post to the moderators (icon under each post) than to delete all your posts from the thread. Its made these posts pretty useless now hasnt it? Whats more, if you decide to ask for more help here on the same topic you will once again have to post the information.

People are more than willing to help you here, but a little research done by you will help you get things straight in your mind too. Alot of the people who do jump in to help are looking up the info on a case to case need and are really making a big effort to help you.

Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

People on here are glad to help you, but only one post per tank is needed. Posting threads about same tank in multiple forums does not mean more people are going to see it.

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

because a member on here was rude with me and basicaly said that i had to many of the same posts on here about the same tank,

but there was a reason i put the same stuff in my posts was so everyone could know what i had in my tank so it would be better for them to help me.
the person told me that i shouldnt post anymore until i read more on the profiles of fish and stuff but my thought was i thought this site was to help people with there fish problem and get a second opinion on stuff from people with more experience than others, and i have done the reseach just get diferent anwsers so thats why i ask so many questions i want to know as mush as i can and from people that will anwser me and not be so rude about it. i really love this site alot but i have noticed that some of the fish im really interested in are not on this site or no info on them, (BALLON MOLLY) so i dont ask anymore questions and have deleted most of my posts. i just thought this site and the members would help me with my fish choice i wasnt trying to be a bother to anyone or this site.

sorry:#(

why did you delete all your posts?

A 20g would be better. You might be able to put six cories in for a shoal.

I have 3 Peppered Cories in mine. Keep in mind that I have a heavily planted 10 gallon with a cultured biowheel running.

Corydoras rabauti gets too big for a 10 gallon with the guppies in there too.

I have 7 guppies in my ten gallon, along with a trio of Peppered Cories, and a pair of ADF's. It is also fully planted. I have had this setup for over a year now. The guppies and cories are homegrown. I also have a large(and unkown)number of MTS's helping out with cleanup and sifting through the gravel(Eco-Complete). I run a Penguin Mini(with Bio-wheel). Hope this gives you something to go on...just don't mix the males and females unless you want babies(and have a tank to raise them seperately).

I've got 3 male guppies, 3 peppered corys, and 2 neon tetras in my 10 gal... The guppies do tend to flare at each other a little and there's some chasing going on, but I've not seen any evidence of fin nipping, etc.

Well, i dont know much about them. But looking at the profile it says they grow to about 2.5", which is too large to have 3 or 4 in your planned 10 gallon with the guppies. I also, have never seen them for sale? Have you seen some in your area before?

Sam

as many as you filter for and clean. freind of mine had well over 60 in a 15g, but then again there was 2 filters ment for a 30g on it and there was weekly water changes done. and by the time she got them into the 25g, the count was well over 90. so really its up to every individual and how you clean the tank

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

I've never heard of a rust cory? Where did you see it at? and remember, you can't have just one!

Sam

EDIT: For the bottom you could also look into a Bristlenose pleco, I have one in my 10 gal.

For a 10 gallon you would be best to go with any of the smaller cories, although they like to be kept in groups, so you may want to cut down your guppies to 4, then you could have 3 or 4 smaller cories such as pandas, pygmys, peppered (i believe). Maybe even albinos, I can't remember at the moment how big they get.


Note on the Pandas: Pandas are sensitive to water quality and need frequent water changes and gravel vacs.

I'm sure someone else can clarify on the cories as my brain does not appear to be working correctly at the moment!

Sam

Yes, you can hage 6 male Guppy's & 2 Frogs..

seems alot for a 10G. i wouldn't think they fight, unless a female was in the tank.

I got into breeding guppies a while ago when I found some fry that ended up being from a wild guppy male (not an Endler) and my blue metallic female. I ended up with fantastic colored males

So I moved the parents and the juvenile fry to a 10g. I posted on the site asking if guppies tend to eat their own fry; I'd say 90% of the replies were 'yes'. Not my fry though and now I honestly don't know how many guppies are in the tank

I'm the first to admit that I overstock but I don't recommend it to others. I also have a Whisper 20 running on this tank and it's heavily planted. I have MTS and plan to add either some small cories or dwarf loaches.

There is water at the bottom of the ocean

u can put two guppies and be overstocked, b/c the guppies will breed. i am not sure about7 but5 all males.
