Well shrimp would of been a good option, if not them then how about some Oto's? They love algae

Few Mystery snails will do the job.

i believe corys of various small types would suit you well

Pygmy/Dwarf cories would be the only well suited for a 10g

do they need to be in groups? if so how many?

cheers luke

corys won't help you with your algae problem. your options are basically snails, shrimps, or otos.
