Would these fish school well in a 10 gallon? What are some other fish?

-Harlequin Rasbora
how many? what are they compatible with?

-Neon Tetras
how many? what are they compatible with?

-Tiger Barbs or Cherry Barbs
how many? what are they compatible with?
 
I would look into some micro rasboras and/or pygm cories because they are so small and would work out very nicely in that size tank

Hope this helps!

Good luck
 
Tiger barbs get way too big for a 10 gallon tank. The hralequins or better yet if you can find them...espei rasboras. Look very similar to the harlies, but smaller and redder. I think would be fine 6-10 of them. The neons are pretty but not very hardy. You may buy 10 and up with 3 at the end.
I agree thee a lot of nano species that are perfect for a 10 gallon Check MSJinkzd threads.
 
Ember tetras are another choice. Green Fire tetra as well as many of the micro rasbora. MsJ has had many micros for sell and may have something available that you could do in a 10 gal.
 
harlequins will work, but only in a small school

You could get 10 neons and a honey gourami.

Tiger barbs are too active for a 10 gallon, and I believe cherry barbs would work, but only one or two.


If I was you, I would do the pygmy cory and micro rasbora set-up, as mentioned earlier.

My personal favorite stocking is a pair of rhinogobius wui with 5 white cloud mountain minnows. Keep in mind that a set-up like that is coldwater, and white clouds might be illegal in your area.
