i have 5 harlequin rasboras in my 10 gallon tank that i took from my 29. i thought it would be ok since most sites say 10 gallon minimum, but what do you think?
also i need help aquascaping their 10 gallon tank that they will share with shrimp.

the plants i have right now are
hygro
anubius nana
2 other anubius
java moss
some kind of sword plant(not amazon)this one is just temporary it will either go in a frog tank or my 29 gallon. probably
edit:and a baby crypt.
 
I wouldn't put the rasboras in the tank. They're too active for a 10 gallon.
 
seriously? mine arent even that active. i guess ill just keep them in there for a few more days and then move them back when i get my new shrimp.
 
I think most schooling fish are active and they should be, to be healthy.
 
More plants. I usually like tanks that cover left and right with the middle empty. With how this tank is set up, I would move most of the plants to the opposite side from the filter with some short plants for the front. I like my moss floating or attached to something and not on the ground. Get different anubias, vals, and crypts (red) to give color to your tank. Stick with low light if your not going to dose co2 or ferts.

Size/bioload wise? Yeah, sure, no problem. Activity wise? I'm not sure my 55 long is enough space, sometimes.
 
Hmm ok. What about moving all plants to one side, away from the filter or you can try hiding the filter. I don't know but how it is in the photos, it looks weird because there's so much space between the plants.
