Thinking of doing something potentially stupid

It's easy to get a random male and female to pair off. Mine came from the same shipment, but there were more males than females in the tank and I actually got them at different times (waited a week to see how Tyr fared before getting Zroya) and I had no problems getting them to pair up. I've been told that when I get a new female, Tyr should take to her readily enough. They aren't like some cichlid species (angels, for example), who pretty much mate for life.
Sorry, I forgetted.
10 Gallon standard
Top Fin Whisper 10
0/0/20-30 PH: 7.6+ Temp: 79F
Black Substrate-Gravel
3 Mystery Snails
5 Glofish
Random rocks, mostly slate and granite
4-5 oyster shells (which get ground on by the snails fairly regularly)
Bubbler in a Jaguar skull
Anacharis
AquaSafe Plus (approx 7-9 drops per gallon)
It's been a few days since I checked parameters (maybe 4-5 days?). I'll check it again tonight. If it's still fine I'll pick me up some internal parasite stuff.

I'm down to three glofish. They seem to be doing alright. The treatment is over and I really hope it was just internal parasites. The male keeps trying to spawn with one of the two girls. It's a pity I don't have marbles down. Maybe they'll lay some in the rocks?
Oh, and I succumbed to the lure of the GBR. Full sized was 15. So I got a juvie for 7. Acclimating as we speak.
...and since I'm uploading, here's a pic of my three amigos, Larry, Moe and Curly.

Fish in!
All I have to say at the moment is....
Territorial dwarf gourami is territorial!
No nipping so far. Philbert has been sneaking up behind her (Priscilla or Persephone, I can't decide what to call her yet), waiting for for her to realize he's flaring and go BOO!
At least she's pecking at the log....like everything else in the tank does.
