I would stop at the added guppies. Guppies used to be and sometimes are still called the millions fish. They are prolific breeders; a female can have multiple spawns just from one encounter with a male. Unless you have nothing but males in that tank you will quickly overstock it.

I agreee, adding the guppies pretty much stocks the tank. If you're looking to "fill it in" a bit more may I suggest some plants :88). Upgrading the lighting on a 10 gallon is quite easy and adding substrate for plants won't be quite as expensive. There are plenty of plants to choose from, and they can do nothing but good for the tank....plus it just looks so !

Hey P-Tree,
Maybe you could consider some Shrimp, or a couple of snails?
Perhaps a couple of Ottos later on when algae grows for them?
Check on PhotoBooth under "hey im eating here" for a picture of my gorgeous wood shrimp. The perfect cleaner buddy for a 10g tank!

or how about you keep only male guppies? then you could add some more interesting stuff in without worrying about the guppies.
