We have two 10g tanks with nearly identical setups for now: Whisper h.o.b. filters, plastic plants, gravel, & a few decorations. Both tanks cycled w/ the tetras I’ll list below – before I had read about fishless cycling… Cycles finished last week – a two month process altogether. We then added the corys that are listed. Question now is… are these tanks full? Could we add another tetra or two or three to each one? Thanks in advance for the feedback.
Here are the tank details:
Tank #1 - three serpae tetras and two julii corys
Tank #2 - four flame tetras and two very small albino corys
 
Tank #1 Maybe one more serpae--they tend to be a bit larger. I'd also add another
cory, since they are happier in groups.

Tank 2# 2 or three should be fine. Flames tend to stay smaller. Another cory here, as well.
 
Remember when you add the new fish to watch for a new small cycle and do water changes when needed.
 
from what I've read, Serpaes do best in even numbers, and a minimum of 6 is recommended
