Personally I like glo lites, cardinals, and black neons. Clown loaches and plecos get too large for a 10g. If you do get a dwarf gourami, make sure there are some plants, live or fake, for it to hide in so it feels more secure. HTH |

I would think they'd be especially  e to fighting in such tight quarters.When I had 2, however, they were in a 55g so they each had their own end of the tank. In other words: It's possible, but you'd be overstocking your tank, so regular water changes and heavy filtration would be mandatory. You'd also be taking a risk of stressing the fish. |
