Scarlet Badis and Pygmy Sunfish as tank mates?

[Wingman12r]

Does anybody have experience with these 2 as tank mates?

I have a 10g with yellow fin White Clouds and Scarlet Badis and want to add a couple of Pygmy Sunfish.

What are your thoughts?

I've only ever kept Pygmy Sunfish in species-only tanks, and they were still quite shy. I kept a couple pairs of Okefenokees.

I'd expect the constant movement from the white clouds to keep them in hiding, and the scarlet badis to pick a fight. I'd want to have way more cover in the tank for Pygmies, too -  mine always kept to the weeds and shade.

I'm planting a crypt up front where the three stones are and dwarf hair grass along the right side. 

I can also easily swap to a 15 or 20l.
