I am CYCLED BABAAAAY!! WOOOO!!!

You could get a few otocinclus cats for algea eaters.... They're tiny and do a great job cleaning up the tank. But you can't have just one or two, they're schooling fish.

yes i agree but they are a nice colour
not to metion they grow far too big for a 10G maybe a 30-40g could hold a small school of 4-5. and otos are a good idea to go with the gourami and ram. get 3, and a few shrimp, and you'll have a nice little community tank there. don't add the otos 'till your tank has lots of algae, though.

Yeah i agree, that would be a nice community, and im going to be a parrot now and repeat what fc said, make sure theres algea at leat on back plants becuase its hard to feed them, but i reccomend ottos! Oh you might want to think about getting 1 0r 2 small plants with long leaves for them to sit on, i just purchased one myself and they love it.
 
Cool Tank!

Nice tank, and btw, how do you put in a picture like he did?

take a picture using a digital camera (obvious given, hehe) and drag the picture(s) you want into your computer. go to file/picture uploading sites such as imageshack or photobucket.com (i prefer photobucket) and upload the picture file you want. after this is done, you will be given 3 different types of links for the image. you can either directly copy and paste the IMG link, or use the "safe" way and copy and paste the URL one into the "Insert Image" script prompt box above you. hit OK, and your image should automatically appear in the reply box and your image will appear in your reply.

sounds complicated, but i have a habbit of making it seem that way, its extremely easy. now lets see some pictures of your tank!

they don't always school per se, but do enjoy each others company. sometimes otos will school at first when they are stressed out to being introduced in a new environment and eventually they will either continue to stick togther, or scatter around the tank "ignoring" each other. but otos are peaceful little guys, so it would definately not hurt (if anything, it will help them) getting at least 3 of these guys together.
 
Hmm..

How I get the my tank specs under the writing? NVM its there! :)
You guys think I can add more fish?
