With all the foods you use, I don't doubt that you could get these guys

http://www.fishindex.com/phpinfo//4/2//145 does list a 10g as their
minimum tank size, and I rarely see them over 4". They are so peaceful

This leaves Otos which sometimes have trouble staying alive, so SAEs
become the next obvious choice.
