odie will NEVER. be satisfied until he is free

hello everyone! i recently was given this planted 10gal tank with some guppies in it, they were used to study behavior at my university (not my study, i don’t remember all of the details). so far, it looks like they’re only males. i’ve counted around 9 in there so far, so i plan on moving them to an empty 25gal cube tank i have. i’m pretty excited, as i’ve been keeping fish for about a decade but never really got into guppies. do you guys have any advice or suggestions for what to add to their tank? i would also love to increase the biodiversity in the tank, so if you guys have any cohab recommendations i would love to hear it!!! i would love to get into neocaridina shrimp, but i want to explore options for other fish first so please let me know!! any plant recommendations would be great too :))

tank parameters:

77° F
pH - 7.4
GH - 12
KH - 6
ammonia/nitrite - 0
nitrate - 10ppm

odie is genuinely so photogenic but NOBODY is safe from the .5 (bonus pic of his beauty at the end

sorry these pictures aren’t great! found in the central NY region, near oswego. need an identification for my report, so far i’ve been stumped!
