If you're going with corals I would start out with one fish. In a few months you could try 2. I tried 3 but couldn't keep the water quality good enough for the corals. Also try to get fish that will eat the same thing your corals do. Try not to get a fish with too specific a diet, for instance a LM blennie or a scooter would not be good choices. There may also be territory issues with some fish in a ten.
Good Luck!

Go with 1 small fish then add a second small fish after a month or so. Keep up the water changes. I do 1 a week if not more on my 7 gallon minibow...

i wouldnt put dwarf angels in with corals . IMO start with some like a small PJ cardinal(its what i started with) the dont grow very fast and live on spectrum(they love the stuff) but they eat pretty much anything. or i would go with a REEF SAFE wrasse(long finned fairy wrasse was my second fish choice). not only a beautiful fish, but easy to care for. mine east spectrum and frozen mysis shrimp. as for corals, as many as you want until theres no more room . inverts maybe start with a cleaner shrimp and some hermits and snails. good luck

I would stick with very small fish - a clown is hardy and a godo choice - some of hte smaller gobies as well - Citron/Green Barred or Clown gobies. Neon Gobies .... or just some damsels ...
Pygmy Angel?? they get to be 4 inches long - not a whole of space for them in a 10 gallon tank ....
Long-finned Fairy/Flasher Wrasse?? They get to be 3 inches long but they are definte jumpers .... still not a whole lot of space .... maybe as the only fish in a 10 gallon .... but that would still be pretty cruel ....

i guess i got lucky, mine doesnt seem to wanna jump. i have him in there with a pj cardinal. both are sall hardy and easy to care for. ovranalyzer, wrasses dont grow very fast. almost every fish will grow to be 3 inches. as long s there is swimming space and places to hide you should have no trouble keeping wrasses. maybe a six line wrasse would be better. colorful and a great helper in eliminating bristle worms. court jester gobies are awsome too, and so are orange striped gobies.

I prefer the clown gobies but both stay small!
