Oh, and I think you should put in a pair of rams and some tetras. IMO

rams? what are they? i dont think that would be a good idea if i dont know what it is! LOL
i was thinking tetras
hows this:
7+ tetras (neon, cardinal or black skirt)
6-7 guppys (i heard they dont add much to your bio load?)
a gourami (maybe for a centerpeice)
and some little things (frog, snail, albino cory cat(s) )
i think that will be fine, i dont know about the gourami, (with the guppys...)

That should be fine. All very easy to keep, although I have to say bolivian rams (Microgeophagus altispinosa) are probably my favorite fish right now. They're cichlids so tons of personality.
I'd also think about moving one of those gouramis that's in your 10g. I'm surprised they haven't torn each other to shreds yet...

:devil: I have been bad this year. The thing santa doesnt realise is, giving a bad kid a rock that is black is not really a punishment. Especially when the kid finds out the rock can burn too!!!!!!!!!!!:devil:
