creative ideas for a bottom dweller

[fishcatch22]

i'm restocking my 10G after a mysterious nitrite spike killed off my oto and I gave my BN pleco (who was beggining to get too big for my tank IMO) to a new home, so my bottoms open. now I want creative ideas, don't just all say corys or something. i'm all ears to new ideas for fish as long as it plays well with my rasboras and shrimp and doesn't grow over 4-5".

It's not really a schooling fish, but they do well in small groups. You could get 3-4 for a 10 gal. That won't be too crowded.

I personally love them

don't they get about 4" long? i' ve always been told 20G minimum. i'm also not a fan of wild caught fish so i'd prefer captive bred animals.

anyone else? how about dwarf chain loaches? clown plecos? hara hara?

ummm... won't they tear my rasboras to shreds and munch my snail?

SIGH.... I though you guys would have some good suggestions of odd and rare fish for my tank. I don't want just another khuli or oto, I want an oddball fish.
