Hello everyone!

This is my first post here.

I have a 10 gallon (unheated) with sponge filter and 24 watt compact lighting.

Water seems to be fully cycled, PH seems normal, using half tap and half reverse osmosis.

There are 5 ghost shrimps originally, and it seems all 5 are still there.

For plants there is only java moss, random Anubis from petco attached to rock.

What are some suitable shrimps mates?

Only ones I see are white and red shrimps sold at about 10 bucks at local fish store, about half inch, much smaller than the ghosts (10 @$1).

Those white and red shrimp are probably crystal red shrimp. You are not going to find any other shrimp that costs $1 for 10 besides ghost shrimp, so you will have to pay a few dollars per shrimp for pretty much any species out there. I would recommend reading all the information on this website (plus searches in this forum) so you can get up to date with all required information about shrimp and their care, as your questions are pretty basic and have been answered many, many times over the years. Having said that, you can keep any dwarf shrimp species with most "ghost shrimp" types, but some species sold as "ghost shrimp" may dine on some of the offspring of your smaller shrimp.

The plant family's name is Anubias by the way. This is Anubis (an ancient Egyptian god):
