Hi! This is my first post on this website, and I'm sorry it's so late, I'm just a night owl (my brain seems to function better at night). I have fallen in love with fish, and now I'm getting back into the hobby after my betta died around 2 months ago (I decided to take a break). I used to have a 5 gallon tank, but recently the PetCo sale has pushed my to buy a 10 gallon. I really wanted a 15 gallon, but didn't realize the dollar-per-gallon sale didn't apply to that particular tank. I would get a 20 gallon, I really wanted to but I just don't have the room. The only place I can have a tank really is on my desk, and my Granddad and I thought that 20 gallons would be too heavy for it. So I got a 10 gallon, and it fits perfectly! Though, I've kinda fallen down the rabbit hole of Loaches...I'm in LOVE with the idea of them!! I'm super weird, and eels are a dream pet of mine, but I'm at a point in life where I'm a fish enthusiast that doesn't have room for anything above my 10 gallon tank (and I don't have a justification for the price for anything above 10 either lol). I really would like some Kuhli Loaches, and everything I read says that 10 gallons would be a bad idea. But this is all in reference to like 6-10 in a 10 gal. Would it be fine to have only 3-4 in a 10 gal? I would be fine with the loaches having the tank all to themselves. They would be in a fully cycled, sand substrates, semi-planted, the rest with fake plants, and hides for them tank. Would that be enough to let them live in that tank?? I really want to let them have good lives, but if I can't provide that it's ok. Thank you in advance for your response and help 
(Also, if the loaches don't work out, do y'all have any suggestions for anything else that can be in a 10 gallon? Or anything loach-like that would work for my tank?)
