I have a 10gal sand freshwater tank with a small school of cardinal tetras. I'm thinking the sand will get quite dirty and build up air pockets in which some nasty bacteria can grow as you know, I'm looking for something like a crab to clean the surface of the sand, as well as maybe something like the freshwater variant of a scooter blenny to churn up the sand to make sure these pockets don't form, and if they do are delt with quickly. Any suggestions on which crab/fish I should get that would deal with the tetra's environment would be very helpful thanks a ton :]

have you checked how small pygmys are? they stay at the bottom if theyre in a school. if theyre alone they will just roam all over the tank =/
Well if you dont like em, i can say goldfish certainly churn the sand, but are out of the question for a small tank
if you can find a smal species of loach, go for it.
