    i need some color

    would 1 dwarf gourami be okay in a 10 gall tank with 4 head&tail light tetras, 1 serpae, and 1 cory? I dont want to take back any of the fish i have now because they seem to do very well together. Im just looking to try and get some color in my tank. Thanks for the input!

    lost a couple corys- a couple questions

    i didnt realize that i currently have my tank at 78 maybe that is affecting the little guys. I heard these fish were very hardy thats why i bought them considering im still pretty new to this whole fish world. Would my head and tail light tetras be okay with the lower temp>?
