Another new tank

[Justice]

Well, I am a newbie and I overstocked my newish 10 gal tank,

1 banded rainbow (came with tank)
1 diano (came with tank)
3 glowlight tetras
2 clown loaches

I am getting another 10 gal to put the rainbow in. he is getting too
agressive towords the other fish. Should I get another rainbow or is
there anyother fish I might get to be a tankmate or should I just leave
him be by himself?

TIA

Banded Rainbows will grow to around 4.5 inches so if possible try and
get a larger tank or swop him for something smaller. Generally Rainbows
are schooling fish so my choice of tank mates would be more of his own
kind...

I know they can grow to about 4.5" he is 4.75"@moment 5y old, He just
seemed alright when there were just 2 in the tank, but I added more now
I thinks he just wants his space. I have alredy got the 10 gal. and it
is cycling
