What to pick to finish 10gal?

[Squishiebabe]

I'd really like to add something to my 10gallon. However, I'm very indecisive, and I don't know how mant threads there are like this (I know I know, )but I need your input guys (Or else I'll never choose ) )
What would be best? I thought 3 cories Might not be happy in my tank, and I don't think I could fit 4 although I'm not sure. I might just go get 2 female Platies for my male, but then I get fry, cute and all, but no room lol. Here is my sort-of, questionable wants lol

Cories -as said, not sure if they'd be happy
Platy-2 females maybe for my male?
More Cherry barbs-Build up the stock of them a little? Maybe another 2 female, 1 male?They seem happy as pie already though.
Small Gourami? Should I try another Dwarf? A few Sparkling maybe?
Female Betta-Definately not sure on this one, but might as well give it as idea
A german ram?-Should I wait till upgrade and get a pair? lol

Any other ideas appreciated. I like hardier types, but I keep up water changes and vac once every week, then again most fish need that lol silly...

10g works best with guppy or tetra. Other fish require more space to swim and hide. I will go with platty on ur selection. Other fish tend to require more space then 10g.

I say Cories. I think a trio of some kind of small Cory would be nice, or even a larger group of Pgymy Cories, though they tend to stay more middle/bottom then just bottom.

I wouldn't get female Platies, you will be OVER-RUN with fry.

Cherry Barbs - maybe, but if they are happy, I don't see any reason to mess with it. Trios usually work well. But a group would be pretty.

Female Betta - Maybe....But I worry about the male Platy nipping on her, or her nipping on some other fish.

Dwarf Gourami - He'd work. However, I think you already have enough top/middle fish.

Yes, I am probably just as indecisive as you, and this post probably didn't help at all...but I say Cories.

I just feel like they might be unhappy, because I dont think I could get a big enough group for them to be happy in this current tank, but when i get to the lfs is really the chooser...If they have cute, healthy cories, and sickly dwarf gouramis, I might try a trio of them. I just thought dwarf gourami because I dont want to overstock. The female Betta is out of question, my Platy is a nippy little bum, when it comes to long fins (Got my last guppy)

Hmm, I've been thinking cories for a long time, but feel if I do want to get them, I'll have to change my substrate, which I plan on turning to sand in my upgrade tank later on, and also getting a nice shoal of 4 or 5, instead of just squeezing them in and keeping them with gravel, I'd rather them happy, with lots of room and friends lol. So now with this thought, I think i'll hold off the cories, and get a Dwarf Gourami for now...least this is my moentary thought, lol.
