Help Me Plan My DREAM 10 Gallon!

The Bio-wheel was spinning but I unplugged the filter, filled it up,and started it up again.

Now after running for a bit after I restarted it is somewhat quieter but it is still a little loud/annoying.

Good news! I left the Bio-wheel on overnight and it quieted down so much that I think it's at the normal noise level for any penguin 150.
 
Now for stocking.

I want some schooling fish,

I want a bottom feeder,

I want a snail,

and I want a colorful centerpiece fish.


All the fish need to be easy to care for

I can put a heater in the tank if need be.

NO FISH WILL BE PUT IN THE TANK UNTIL AFTER IT CYCLES.

Now for stocking.

I want some schooling fish,
RUMMY-NOSE/NEON/CARDINAL TETRAS/DANIOS
I want a bottom feeder,
CORYS/OTOs/1 small PLECO
I want a snail,
APPLE/NERITE/MYSTERY/RAMSHORN
and I want a colorful centerpiece fish.
MALE BETTA/GOURAMI/GB RAM

Obviously some things wont work with others but here are a few possibilities that I've seen people do...not saying that they are good/right...just that this is what most people get or thin about getting
 
I'd say go for Threadfins or something a little harder to find species. I like Lampeye Killifish, Threadfin Rainbowfish and Blueyed Rainbowfis. I would also consider some Pencilfish (Dwarves preferably).

As for bottom feeders, I'd recommend going with the Dwarf Cories. Habrosus or Pygmy woudl be fine.

I would go for Nerite Snails since they have really cool looking shells.

As for the others, I'd go for a Blue Dwarf Gourami.

My 2cents.

The thing is, it might be a little tight to have
6 of a school
6 Cories
& 1 dwarf gourami
