All I have in there is one guppy that i habve been slowly acclamating to complete freshwater instead of brackish so it can have some tohers join it

So any idea?

And I dont really want to do live plants at this point

Im hoping to get a bigger tank somewhat soon but ive been saying that since I got the ten gallon cause with a bigger tnak i would need a stand and everything and i dont really have room in my bedroom

I love kulhi loaches and im pretty fond of platys and female bettas in a community tank

And I think dwarf gouramis are cool too but I dont know nayhting about them (like if they can go in with a guppy)

I dont really want more guppys
 
so they would be alright with my guppy?

oh and to add to the list of things i would love in a tank-shrimp(like red cherrys)
 
well all the websites i am looking at say they need a planted tnak, and that is something I cannot really provide a this point
 
Hi,

To go along with your guppy in your 10 gallon tank, you could get a Dwarf Gourami, five Pygmy Cories, and a African Dwarf Frog or two.

5 Neons
4 Cories (Pygmy or Panda would be best)
4 Ghost Shrimp
1 Mystery Snail (Any color will do)
 
NO, you dont need planted tanks with dwarf gouramis i had 2 and they did very well until the shark killed the female and the male was killed by internal parasites :sad:
 
mid-top water:
2-3 more guppies (get all males if you don't want fry)
5 small shoaling fish that stays under 2" (tetras, rasboras, ect.)

bottom:
4 regular cories (bronze, peppered, panda, try to get all one species.)
OR
7 pygmy cories
OR
1 small pleco that stays under 5" (bristlenose, clown, rupperlip, ect.)
OR
3 otos

6-7 ghost shrimp
OR
1 apple snail
