I am having those same feelings of fish remorse... I stocked my 40 g with 6 rosy barbs a couple of weeks ago, and now don't know what I'll be able to keep with them. I'd originally wanted a "small fish only" tank, but circumstances led me to buy the rosies, unplanned...
So with these guys, not sure if keeping those wee gold tetras will be an option anymore, to say nothing of my Endler's livebearer breeding project! I think the only viable option is going to be yet another tank.
Dang Manhattan apartments are small though. I also have an 8 gallon, stocked with several Endler's and a big feisty betta.
Anyway, you should let yourself have some fun maybe and get another tank going!!
