neither of those would last long in a 3 gallon.
the only fish that would possibly thrive in a 3 gallon is a Betta.
guppies, danios, tetras are all too active for such a tiny tank.
or maybe a planted shrimp tank?

Not only are those fish incompatible, but they would not fit in a ten gallon tank. First off, a SINGLE red tail shark should be in nothing smaller than a 40 gallon, although a 55 is better. Secondly, 2 dwarf puffers might tolerate eachother when younger, but most will fight as they mature unless they have larger groups of 2-3 females and 1 male, in which case you would need a larger tank. Plus, it is a bad idea to keep them with other fish in a small tank like that, as they will more than likely kill them. (Don't be fooled by their small size.) Finally, the algae eaters would be far too big for a ten gallon. And if you are referring to chinese algae eaters, you can only keep one in a tank because they will fight when they mature. They are actually more carnivorous as they grow older. Please do more research before you get any fish.

Well, first of all, a piranha should never be kept in anything close to a three gallon. Same thing with Hi Fin Banded Sharks (even when they're babies). A betta and some tetras would be good. Not too many though.

Betta. 3 gallons is obscenely small as a long term home for a living fish other than a betta who lives in that size home in nature. Research your choice with a book from PetSmart.

Not for long! They need at least a 50 gallon tank.You need a few guppies for a three gallon tank,or one betta.

Your options are very limited with a 3 gallon tank. Try a Betta, white clouds, danios, or guppies.

As a yes or no question like you have posed:
NO.
A three gallon is far far far too small.
