I have a 10G tank and three Rasbora Harlequins for about 5 weeks now and they are doing very fine. I know 6 is optimal but the LFS said three would be fine and so far they seem happy.

Since its only a 10G I can really only add 2 more fish and would like to add something else than the obvious (2 more Rasboras).

What other fish would you suggest I could add to add a nice contrast to my three Rasboras ? Looking for something peaceful. Perhaps fish that can live happy as singles. i.e. Add 2 different breeds, one of each. Or some other breed where 2 of the same breed would be fine.

I don't want to go over 5 or 6 fish total in my tank.

Any suggestions welcome.

Most smaller fish do better in groups, so it's hard to suggest something that would do well by its self.
Maybe a couple or three male guppies?

yeah, i say either three male guppies as well or possibly a molly or a platy, i don't know 100% about the platies but i know my balloon mollie doesn't mind being by himself at all (he's keeping a 10 gallon cycled until my new bettas come )

How about 2 male guppies (Fancy or ?) and an algae eater like Otto or some other that works in a 10 gal ?

Otos like to be in groups, so I'm not sure how well that would work if you want to add other fish. Maybe just 3 -4 otos would be nice.
