I have these fish, a tetra, a black goldfish, and a female guppy. My tank is 10 gallons, what else can/ should I add to my tank (I have already tried a female betta and a male betta, both were at separate times, and they didn't last past 1 week)
BEST ANSWER GETS 10 POINTS!
I have had this tetra, goldfish, guppy set for awhile, they are all a VERY happy family (tetra is 4 years old) none of them hurt eachother and they all do well
My tetra is a gray. black tetra he is bigger then the gold fish! My guppy is so cute and she is big for a female! i AM THINKING OF ADDING A FEW MALE GUPPIES
 
Take out the poor gold and replace it with some more tetras. Tetras are schooling fish and having only one is just sad. if you stay to small fish, you can have around 6 fish total.
Please re-home the gold as it doesn't belong with tropics, the water is too warm for a long life, plus the waste it produces affects yout tropics.
 
Well right now I envision your Black Goldfish getting larger and your female Guppy and Tetra disappearing down it's gullet. Goldfish cannot be kept with Tetras or Guppies, not only the eating issue but also because they get substantially larger, are extremely messy and prefer cooler temperatures. Rehome the Goldfish.

What species of Tetra do you have? These fish cannot be kept singly, they need to be in shoals, if you have a small species like Neon then get 4 more.

10 gallon tanks are small and tricky to stock.
