I'd keep an eye on things, some will become more aggressive in smaller tanks like a 10 and the neons are of a size they could be prey for adult paradise fish. Eric

Paradise are active swimmers and I still do not agree with all the people who keep them in a 10g tank much less with other fish. They may not zip around really fast but they are not bettas and prefer plenty of space to explore. My paradise were as or more active than my blue gouramis are.
