The tanks look great, and I really like the stock lists that you have for each tank. I used to keep galaxy rasboras, but my school kind of dwindled away after a while. I think my other fish were outcompeting them for food. It was a 45 gallon tall tank and I've since come to the conclusion that they are probably easier to keep in small tanks. Mine liked New Life Spectrum Small Fish Formula- it's really tiny pellets that are easy for them to eat. Good luck with yours!

Thanks

I quickly found out I need to buy miniature food for my new miniature fish

it seems even finely crushed flakes are challenging for them.
Do you think if I add the 'maybe's I'd be overstocked in any of them? (three more galaxy's in the 10g, and five more male endler's in the other 10g)?

Five more male Endlers will be fine

They are such tiny fellas and such show offs

Very nice tanks.

I agree that you could add the Endler's, and I also think you could add the 3 more galaxy rasboras to your other tank. As long as you keep up on maintenance, it will be fine.
