Hey snork6, been a while.
 
A DG is just about ok in a 10 gal tank.

Although have to say that red fin shark is certainly not suitable for a 10 gallon tank.
 
Red fin shark I think is also called rainbow shark ( I THINK, not 100%), needs at least a 50 gallon tank

Sorry, don't think you've enough room in there for one, they are pretty active swimmers and would run out of space pretty quickly in a 10G.

For one Dwarf Gourami or Red Fin Shark you speak of here?

I mean the Red fin shark... I'd have thought there would be just about enough room for a DG.

If you're (OP) looking for ideas to put in there, maybe some of the smaller Cory species would be nice, they are pretty active around the bottom of your tank.

Like charlie said, any freshwater 'sharks' are off limits to anything below 40-50 standard gallon. You did mention it is a single DG, why not get it gendered so you could get a partner for it
