Which fish will get along in my tank?

I have guppies and neons together and they do fine. In the same tank I also have harlequin rasboras, cories, and ottos. Of course, my tank is 29 gallons so I can have a few more fish.

You say you have 4 guppies (male and female). If you wait you will have more fish than you will know what to do with. You could probably add 4 neons without a problem and they would probably keep the guppu count at 4 by munching on the fry.

ok thanks for the input, i have 3 guppies to correct you. 1 male and 2 females
 
Neons should be in shoals of 6+. I think that will overdue your tank, a small shoal of 3 cories would be better :).
 
your options with a 10g are pretty slim, many of the fish that will get along with the guppies, are also demanding of larger groups themselves (ie 6+)

And they will also swim in the same region of the tank. Is your tank planted? or are you starting to see algae? If yes, then I might suggest 2-3 otto's

To clean the bottom, I think a group of 3-4 corries are nice. The panda type are smaller, and there are others which also stay smaller. They will mostly populate the bottom of your tank, and eat the food which falls down and is missed by the guppies.

If you do your job right, your guppies are going to breed...so your 3 will turn into 6, 10 and more. And the same could be said for corries or anything else you add into this tank. Nature will take it's course and help fill your tank, so this is not your sole responsibility.

So please try to consider your tank in 6 months, over the current "empty" feeling you get when you look at it now. I know this is something which I presonally had trouble doing with my first tank.
