Fish compatibility?

Question
I am in aquatic science at school and we have to keep an aquarium as a project. It have a 10 Gallon tank I have a Blue Gourami, a Pleco and up until recently. I got the Molly because the store people said they would go well together but my Gourami killed it. What fish would go well with the Gourami without getting killed?

Answer
Hi Daniel

The Gourami is actually going to get too big for your 10 gallon. You may want to reconsider the Gourami and get a few small peaceful fish. To answer your question, Mollies and Gouramis should go together, but if the Gourami killed the Molly, you may try Barbs or Tetras.

Good luck!
