Blue eyed red neon rainbow fish with a Honey Gourami?

[DaPrawf]

I’m going to be setting up a 10 gallon UNS 60S tank on my desk. (Roughly 20 x. 14 x 8). I’ll plant it heavily and have some driftwood and dragon stone. I’d like to do a yellow/orange theme. I was thinking about a honey gourami as my centerpiece, maybe 8 blue eyed red neon rainbow fish, and half a dozen red cherry shrimp. Do you think that would work?

If I were going for this, I’d start by skipping the Gourami. Personally, I think the Pseudomugil are lively enough for a 10-gal.

Cherry shrimp will need rock piles in the back corners for shrimplets to hide in. I also advise sponge filters and loads of java moss.
