Hi ebster. A 10 gal tank is kind of small to have 4 different types of tetras in. They prefer to be in groups of at least 4. So I would suggest 1 maybe 2 groups. Many tetras dont do well in a new tank but maybe someone could suggest some for you. As far as the shrimp you could get 2-3 ghost shrimp. They wont eat your fish and they do a good job picking up leftover food. They are also cheap-about 10 to 25 cents apiece at lfs. They are usually sold as feeders for larger fish.
