Yes, it has to be 6 of one kind. Just choose your favorite fish.

Yes, six of one kind, and I would pick the neons. Diamond tetras are far too large (closer to three inches for the males...you should see the ones my friend has, which are huge), and lemon tetras too nippy for such small confines. Rummynose tetras are one of my faves too, but since I have had them I have discovered that they are very active, always schooling and on the move, and they really should have more space than that. Bloodfin tetras I don't really know much about, but they get bigger than neons and aren't as pretty, so I'd go with the neons (but the bloodfins would probably be fine).
Just keep in mind that adding these schooling fish to the frogs and fish you already have is making this a heavily stocked tank. If you wanted to keep it lightly stocked for ease of maintenance and while you're still learning, I wouldn't add a schooling fish at all.

Non-schooling fish is still an option. I would recommend it over schooling. Let the bottom area be for the cories, and the top portion for a non-schooling fish.

| Aren't glofish just zebra danios with the colors? Well they're illegal here in California... looked pretty cool. In England it's worse, a LONG time in jail just to keep one. Well, I'm not sure about them, I think the bioload will be too heavily loaded. Let's see what Hailey thinks....

I do think the bioload would be too heavy. With danios you should keep at least seven or eight to avoid the nipping they tend to do, and they need lots of room to swim because they are very active, so a 10g is too small IMO. I don't generally recommend them for any tank under 30 inches long.

Just go with the 6 neon tetras and the additional cory. That'll be your new 10 gallon tank. Acclimate, and add the fish slowly.
