Lightbulb 10gal stocking ideas

I have a spare tank hangin around, cycled, with all the ornaments except for plants in place. Heres the details.

Compacity: 10gal
Organisms: none but for plankton, a wood shrimp and filter bacteria
Ornaments: driftwood and rocks
Plants: Depends on what fish I conclude to get
Gravel: size of half a fingernail
Filter: outside power filter
Location: In my room, sheltered from any windows
Lighting: One white and one moonlight serenade thing
Feeding: alot of mix, unless I get cichlids suspectable to bloat
Planting: If gouramies, weed-like plants, otherwise ferns and moss, like java ferns or java moss. Medium and evenly planted.

I want to get cories, what type do you recommend? Which type is small and cute looking? I'm thinking pandas right now. If I get gouramies i'll put maybe three female bettas in there, matching color. If not bettas, would three young angels
(that i can give away later to a good home at my school)
go with gouramies OR the bettas?
Any crustaeceans that are good, pls tell.

Any other ideas would be very appreciated, anyone got a tetra to reccomend, or can anyone tell me what they've got in a tank like that?

thanks!

P.S I wont be getting any livebearers for this one

Just look up any of the 10G posts before you, there are plenty of good ideas. For cories, panda or pygmy is my suggestion.

I would not put 3 angels in a 10G nor would I mix gouramis and bettas, choose one or the other. Plus not all the time will female bettas get along, they often will fight til the death like males. I would also not mix bettas and angels, I have but in a larger 55g. I have successfully put a gourami with angels but I wouldnt probably do it again.

My bf has a 10g with one snail and 3 male guppies and he enjoys that.

Like I said before just search 10g posts for ideas
