I am planning out a new 10 gallon i am for sure getting I betta and 5 kuhli loaches is there any other invert or fish that I could also try with them.
 
Although the betta is a good choice, the kuhlis are not. In my opinion (and I have over a dozen kuhlis), I wouldn't want to see them in anything less than 30 gallons. They really need lots of room to zoom all over the tank.

10 gallons is a very small tank, therefore, you'll have to focus on very small species.
 
Okay then I may drop kuhlis but on every website I have seen the minimum is 20 inches any one else have opinions on kuhli tank size

I would do nothing less than a 20 long they love to zoom around.
 
Okay then is there any other type of bottom feeder suitable except for Pygmy corys

I would use shrimp I have a Singapore Flower Shrimp and he is sifting my sand constantly. Shrimp will also add a totally different feel to your tank as well.
