Hi,

So I have a 10g currently with 6 neon tetra and 1 otocinclus. Am I already fully stocked or can I add other critters? I would really like shrimps but I don't know what species I could have?

The filter is an aquatech 5-15, and I have a water heater (temp is at a steady 72F). This tank has been running for 5 months and is fully cycled. Water params are right on.

Thanks!
 
You could have some amano, ghost, or cherry shrimp. I think those should do fine with your current inhabitants. Otherwise, I think you could add a centerpiece fish, like a dwarf gourami. You should ask the question about the shrimp in the invertebrate section, for better answers.
 
I would first add atleast one more Oto...preferably 2. They like groups. :)

Then you could add either some Shrimp or a centerpiece fish like a Dwarf or Honey gourami. A female betta would work as well.
 
GirlieGirl: I tried to add 2 oto, but they died after 2 weeks. My current Oto is quite tough, he survived a fishy cycle, and he seems to find enough to eat by it's own because he never eats the algae chips I give him (well before he never had a chance to touch it because the 2 goldfish would eat them, but now he's alone with the tetras). In the 2 weeks he was in the company of the other Oto he never approched them and he seems quite happy alone... but i'm no expert in fish psychology!!!

I will follow your suggestions and I will go see Gouramis and the 3 kinds of shrimp Sammie suggested.

Thanks!
