Picked up a cheap 10gal, but what to do?

[mPhish]

I went to a garage sale today and found a super cheap (one dollar, guys, I couldn't help myself) 10 gallon tank with a stand. The quality seems pretty good- it was so cheap because they are moving soon. I'll test waterproof-ness and all that, but once it's all said and done...
What do I put in it?
I'd like to do a nano thing, but maybe add a betta in there? This is my current idea, tell me if its overstocked. I'm not sure how many of each I should add, too. Any advice is appreciated!
-Pygmy cories (I'll do sand)
-Neon tetras
-A betta? Or a dwarf gourami?
-a nerite snail or three

What do you think? Overstocked?

I have Betta's in 2 separate tanks. If another tank pops up in my future I'm thinking.... Dwarf Puffer?

I second dwarf puffers! They are really awesome little fish!

Is 10g enough room for a DP?

I did the 10 for a betta. Got some cheap leds off amazon..sponge filter. I dig it. (Hob is unplugged, it's my laziness)

I've had true Nano fish in my 10g
Celestial Pearl Danios
Cory habrosus or pygmaeus
Red Cherry Shrimp
Otos

Or if you get a Betta, get a showy one

These are old pics of two of my 10g tanks

For dwarf puffers the usual quote is 5g per fish, with eyesight broken up with decor. If I has space for a 10 right now that's what I'd be getting

I have another 8gal Biorb I'm cycling right now. What do you think? Just one puff?

They're supposed to be messy, considering what they eat, so I'd pick whatever you can put a good filter on without blowing them around the tank

Very interesting looking.

I don't either. I just remember YouTube videos on them from a while ago. xD

No gravel, keep the temps 75 and under for starts.

Axolotls are cute but I don't think I want one. Thanks for the idea though!
