Corys would be unsuitable for a bare bottom tank, they wouldn't be able to feed using their barbels normally- really you need a sand or very fine rounded gravel substrate if you want fish like corys and look after them properly.
Is there any particular reason why you have a bare bottom tank? Do you have any decor (like rocks, plants etc) in the tank, and if so, what sort of decor?
What type of tetras do you have? Are you aware that danios and cherry barbs are shoaling fish and so really need to be in groups of at least around 6+ to thrive best?
Really you would be a lot better off with either just the danios, cherry barbs or tetras but not all 3 types of fish, because if you give these fish the numbers they need to live happily in you will overstock and overcrowd the tank if you have 6 danios, 6 cherry barbs and 6 tetras in a little 10gal tank.
It is also important that you find out what sort of tetras you have, as there are loads of types of tetras, which can vary a great deal in temperment/personality, general care, the size they grow to etc.

we'll you could try bumblebees depending on what kind of tetra there cool cats but like to hide so you may need to add something for them to rest under

There are two main types of Bumblebee Gobies, one type is purely brackish water and is intolerant of freshwater, the other one thrives in brackish but can tolerate the freshwater enviroment.
Brachygobius xanthozona:
This type has perfect unbroken black stripes and is best suited for brackish, but can tolerate fresh water much better than the other type.
Brachygobius nunus:
This type has broken banded stripes, and sometimes black spots or broken stripes. It isn't tolerant of a fresh water environment. This is also known as the Golden Banded Goby.
what about a small school of debauwi catfish. I know that they will grow to five inches, but they are such cute babies, and cousins to the glass catfish. Have an id shark look to them too
ohh sorry i was talking about bumblebee catfish but a small goby would be cool but won't work with tetras
