I would reccoment keeping one or the other. The 10g may be overstocked, since you have guppies that will reproduce, i would get rid of the danios and put either the gourami or paradise fish in there to do population control.

Since the males will want to mate all the time, the one female may become stressed. consider reevaluating your population I've got a fever... and the only prescription... is more cowbell!

My test kit says to change the water when readings are above 110 ppm! So keeping them between 10-20 is fine. If you have plants (live) in the tank they will help with the nitrates and keep the fish from feeling stress. "If you're afraid you'll make a mistake, you won't make anything." -Family Circus
