Instead of a community tank with carefully matched fish which all

stripey tank, a spotted tank, and a plain colour tank!

That's not so daft as it sounds.
Picking fish that match/complement either in colour or markings
can create a very pleasing effect. Especially in a planted tank.
Of course your first point about matching water parameters etc
still must hold good.

I am planning on getting him som buddies (at least two more) but since
it's a small tank I didn't want to introduce them all at once. I
figured I'd introduce another little guy next weekend. Thanks for
your help.
