Hey everyone. I need help stocking the rest of the 10g tank. Here's what I've got in there right now:
5 cloud minnows
2 peppered corys

So I probably have room for 2-4 more fish. I'm going for a cooler tank, maybe 21-23C, any suggestions?

A pair of cherry barbs would work, although your cories would do better in a larger group. Rosy barbs get too large for a 10g.

Maybe I'll move some minnows to another tank and put more cories in then. Can tiger barbs live with other fish in a 10gal, without its trademark hostility?

Corydoras need to stay in a school of at least 6 & not only 2.

Tiger barbs would be more likely to show agression in a smaller tank not less likely. A 10g is too small for schooling fish. You could do a school of cories and a few other small fish like a pair of cherry barbs, male guppies, a small gourami... 2 schools of fish would be overcrowded in such a small low tank.
