Hi everybody,
I have a ten gallon tank that I would like to add some fish to, and wondered if anybody could make some suggestions. Here is my setup. 20150901_163125.jpg
My only fish right now that anything would need to agree with is, as best I can tell, a Nemacheilus ornatus. It was sold to me as a zebra sand loach, which I know can be a lot of different fish. Here is a picture if anyone has any other thoughts.20150901_163034.jpg
Since I am relatively new to fish keeping, I would prefer something fairly easy to care for, preferably active though I know that may not be possible in such a small tank.

Thank you so much for your help.

Well that's good, I was worried you didn't know about it. How about this?
6 tetras( 1-1.5 inch)
possibly 1 betta
a few mystery snails.

The Nemacheilus ornatus is an Asian loach, why not keep it an Asian theme---Sparklin Gouramis, Galaxy Rasboras, Micro Rasboras, ect.

Yes those.. I can't spell very well. Those would do well in the tank, But I would recommend a bigger filter then the Whisper 10 I see in the picture.
Good eyes on the filter, what would you recommend?

I would have at least 30g worth of filtration for a larger stock. 10g tanks can swing rapidly regarding water quality, so keeping the tank consistently clean. will be your number one priority.
