It all depends on what you are looking for. How many in a ten gall. Or how to plant it. What are you looking for.

I really look up each individual fish in about 5 sites, see requirements and aggression and needs. Then I come on here and ask I'd theese are alright! What exactly are you wanting?

What I really would like is:
Celebes Rainbow - 2
Threadfin Rainbow - 2
Dwarf Neon Rainbow -4
Long fin Chocolate Bristle nose - 1
red fin Cory - 2
Tank is planted, just waiting for the cycle to finish. My alternative is one male beta and about 7 neons tetras and again 2 red fin Cory.
In put please! Thank you!

I know that rainbows are schoolers and need to be in 6 at least per species. So pick one. Then again, I don't know alot about the rainbows, so they may not be able to live in the 10 g. Also, Cory's need minimum of 4 and only pandas and pygmys work int his size tank. How big do the red fins get? The 8 neons an a betta, along with some Pygmy Cory's may work

The red fin otos only get about 1 inch. Very tiny but very busy!
This is what I mean, I researched the Rainbows and some say 2 are fine, then others say you need 6!
I really am thinking the betta way. But I sure would have like something unique.
Do you have suggestions? Tank is planted, well filtered, aerated, and WC in the 10 & 20 are weekly. Thank you.

Don't forget to cycle aswell! And rainbows are much not active and healthy in the 6 or more. I think getting 6 galaxy rasbora, a betta, and the Redfin otos are unique
If you go the Betta route you will have to see if you get a mellow one or a aggressive one. Some bettas will tolerate other fish and other won't. Most bettas will tolerate cory cats and oto's due to their drab coloring. IMO I'd do something unique like 6 Scarlet Badis and Red Cherry shrimp. Check out some of the nano fish as you can do cool little tanks using them.

Yeah, you could do like 6 cos and 4 Pygmy Cory, or 3 red fin otos and 6 scarlet badis. Or shell dwellers
