what to add into my 10 gallon????

yea guys umm well i purchased 3 platys (1m, 2 F) last week and added to my 10 gallon tank they are doing good. But i would like to add new fish and im not sure what to put in i was thinking a Dwarf Gourami, tetras are another choice but i don't really like any of their kind and i dont want any more livebearers. Corys are another choice but i heard they have to be in groups of 6 i don't mind overstocking the tank since i got allot of plants and change water 2 twice a week but 6 corys just seems to much so yea im not really sure what to do soo what u guys think

one of the dwarf gouramis would be fine...but the 10G is too small for any more than that as gouramis need space to have "time out" if they are being picked on.
In my 10G I started with 2 blue dwarfs and had to take one back to the LPS/LFS because they kept fighting.

were they two males? or even if they were a male and a female the male can harass the female constantly. generally its best to keep just one or keep them at a ratio of 2 females to one male.

the platys are "stomachs with fins" and you would probably have to feed them on 1 side of the tank and then feed the dwarf gourami on the other.
