Should I get something else?

Should I get something else, just to finish my tank off?
I have a 40 litre/ 10gallon tank with:
5 neon tetras
2 guppys, male and female
1 leopard cory.
Thanx in advance,

I think a betta would look good. Maybe a few more tetras so you have a nice big school in there too.

Is my tank big enough for this though???

[octony]

No. A Betta would have a short life in your 10 gal with all those fish. I would say get another female guppy, then you would have a breeding trio. If you did want to breed, you would need a contraption or net breeder, as your neons would eat the fry in a hurry.

Also, how big is your lepord cory?

[Fishguy2727]

cories need a school, which usually means at least 6, but in a 10 gallon a trio should suffice. but the neons should have at least 6. what filter and water change schedule do you have?

[nix]

Filter is going all of the time and we change about 25% water change per week.

I would say that your tank is pretty full at the moment. I think you should work with schooling fish in larger groups than you have them in now. As far as a betta goes...no way. Not in that tank.

i meant what type of filter?

[Severus]

Yea, i guess a betta wouldnt be that great with those fish, but i think a larger school of neon tetras would be cool

whoops sorry my mistake : ) we have one of those external box filters

[Fishguy2727]

what brand and size?

[nix]

It is an AquaClear Mini
Can't find size on box but it says it pumps 100 US gallons an hour

leopard cory is about 3 cm or 1 inch approx
Don't know much about inches cos we use cm here in NZ
