i am wondering how many more fish i can put in my 10G?Right now the tank is cycling so im not adding anything else but after the water is ready.
Here is what i have so far

1.mystery snails x3
2.Fancy tail guppy x1
3. Malaysian Trumpet Snails x 16 (some are babies)
4.Cory x1

Here are the plants

1.amazon sword small x3
2.ribbon grass x2
3.dwarf hairgrass a clump
4. a stem plant name unknown a clump of stems cut back tied together
5.and a golden ribbon.thats the name the lfs gave me i got 3 and there about 3-6" tall

the only thing i would like to add to this tank would be some cherry shrimp,corys,guppies,molly.Any suggestions to some fish or am i overdoing it?
 
I would be careful with the molly, they can be a bit nippy, and really prefer brackish water. Some shrimp, a cory (depends what kind, if there the large kind I'm not really sure) maybe 2 female guppies (they reproduce like crazy) would be good. Depends on your filter though.
 
No, you don't want albino corys for your tank. I bought one, and on another topic, was recently told that they outgrow the tank very fast. Try a couple of spotted...
 
Some Bengal loach are kinda fun, they will also control the snail population when they get going. Help keep the tank quite clean as well.

Mine love cucumber!!!

they are pretty hardy too!

i would love to get a loach after my tank starts going but i dont know where to buy them.as for the corys i already have a albino cory and i hear that mixing different species of cory is alright but they are happier with there own.i dont know why but the corys i bought lasted a month and just yesterday one died and another is so weak he is getting stuck to the filter.i checked my water and everything is where it should be
 
No botia dario-too large.

Mixing corys is fine though like you said they prefer their own species.

Albinos (C. aeneus) will outgrow the tank. Look for panda, pygmy, even spotted corys.

Guppy male or female? Try a couple more of same sex, you prolly dont want a fry population explosion.

:iagree: I'd go with male guppies rather than females. Females are very likely to have been exposed to the presence of males anyway.
 
I would go with panda corys as well.

Not sure why you have so many MTS in there, but to each his own.

I would probably go with guppies over mollys.

And you could add cherry shrimp, but thats certainly a lot of bottom feeders.
