Great looking tank! Welcome to the forum. Before we can give you accurate suggestions for fish to join your snails, it would be helpful to know your water hardness. If you don’t have a test for it, you should be able to find this info on your local water companies website:)
 
I use reverse asmosis water :) and I added flourish to give the helpful minerals back to the water
 
I checked the line and it says that my town on average has a water hardness of 100 to 300 ppm
 
I had koi fish in my tank itty bitty little guys no one told me that the stupid rumor was false “they grow to the size of the tank “ agg so I rehomed my koi fish called mushroom and rain to my local plant nursery with a koi pond they are happy now with lots of space to grow :) I brought them there today
 
When I got my first fish I never new that a part of me was missing and my sweet koi baby’s filled that part and made me whole again I miss my little guys :(

IDK why but that looks small for a 10g. Almost looks more like a 5.
 
It was from pet smart a 10 gallon starter kit
It came with heater and filter and thermometer

i think khuli loaches need more space than this 10g

with some floating plants, a betta splendens should be good, but it might attack the snails' long eye stalks

you could also get some boraras, since they can be kept in small tanks

another option would be to get only male or only female poecilia reticulata/wingei so it does not breed

The sides are as wide as if you were to split the front in half

Could you measure the dimensions? We don’t think you’re misleading us but stocking options for a 5 vs a 10 are so drastically different, we just wanna be sure for the well-being of your fish 😊
