10 Gallon Stock - Your Thoughts

[jiffy]

My girlfriend went today to pick out some fish for her new 10g tank. She got some help at the store and picked out 4 Harlequin Rasboras and 2 Dwarf Neon Rainbows. She is planning on getting 2 more Harlequin's so there is a school of six.

She is looking for something else to add to the tank, thinking either an African Dwarf Frog or some type of shrimp. Something with a low bio load.

Any recomendations would be appreciated.

The rainbows are not suited to a 10 gallon. Too active, schooling and get to 2.5".

Actualy, with 6 harlequins, a 10 gallon is pretty much fully stocked as each gets to about 1.5". An ADF and/or a few cherry or ghost shrimp would be fine though. Alternatively, if she returns the rainbows (well, she should return those anyway realy), a male honey gourami would be a good addition.
