I was reading about the Dwarf Puffers today. They really look interesting to me. I think from what I read you can do up to 3 in a 10G tank. Give them a look

forget fish get an axolotle instead they make great pets i had one a few years back they even tame to you if hand feed them just make sure you have enough floor space i found mine got more interest than my fish ever did

You might could get away with 3, but they are territorial and will be aggessive if kept in close quarters.

Ember tetras and a dwarf gourami. Embers are awesome little guys. They are very bright, good schoolers, and peaceful. You could also try a shrimp only tank stocked with red cherry shrimp. They would awesome against sand or light gravel!

Eh. These are all really good ideas, but puffers are a tad hard, no? Here are some ideas that have worked for me and my fish-keeping friends. They all have top, middle and bottom swimmers. Enjoy.

Amazon Biotope
3 silver hatchets
7 neon tetras
3 panda cory cats

Asian Biotope
5 glass catfish/ harlequin rasbora
3 cherry barbs
3 kuhili/ dwarf loaches

My 10 gallon
1 male dwarf gouriami ( he is very social)
3 platies (2 f, 1m)
3 albino cory cats

IMO hatchets and khulis are all too active for a ten gallon tank. Glass catfish also need a bigger tank. The cories all need a school of six IMO as do the cherry barbs.

Some good nano fish are endlers, dwarf cories, harlequin rasboras, espei rasboras, and galaxy rasboras(CPDs, sorry can't spell the danio version of the name...). Here's a website: http://www.franksaquarium.com/nanofish.htm
Guppies would work too as would patys and dwarf gouramis. I really like killifish too, I've heard that as long as you don't get a picky and very hard type they can be very easy.
Crabs? Shrimp tank?

Albino corys and glass cats need a bigger tank. Kuhlis would be fine. A dwarf gourami would be fine. Neons are fine. IMO, cherry barbs need more friends and a bit more space. Are you sure you want it to be a biotope? I am not sure about the space hatchets need, but it seems that a 10 gallon would be too small for them.
The other suggestions people have given you, like AquaKai, are much better for a 10 gallon.

I have 6 plates in a 10gal. Is that too much? I want to also get some otos in the same tank?!!
