I have a cycled 10 gallon tank with 2 cherry barbs and 2 corys. What kind of fish would be good?

Here is a good source for compatible fish. Keep clicking through to find the sizes of what interests you. I've started it at the page for cherry barbs.
Good luck with your search.

A Dwarf Gourami would be cool, but you should probably add another 1 or 2 Cherry Barbs, the Corries should be fine as a pair though. Look at some Dwarf Gouramis online and see if you like them, they are very colorful and should not grow more than 2 inches (make sure when you buy the fish, it is not labeled to grow more than 2 or 3 inches). Good luck!

The cherry barbs and corys would be much happier if there were 4 or more, as these are schooling fish. 4 cherry barbs and 4 corys = maxed out 10 gallon tank (and then some).

Barbs will nip the fins of any fish that aren't very active or smaller than they are. You'd be good going with mollies. They're very active and, if you get multiple females, they enjoy chasing each other. Don't get two males, though, they'll get territorial and a 10 gallon is a bit too small for that sort of thing.

More cherry barbs of course ;) and I would also check into killifish if you want some really cool and small fish

any type of tetra would be good. also you can try guppies and platys they are great also. be careful of how much fish you put into a tank that small. good luck
