They will get along fine. The main issue though is trying to have 2 separate schools in a 10g. Unfortunately I don't think you have the space. Either type would make a great school though, and IMO a larger school of one type would look nicer

Yeah I'm in the middle of that debate right now lol I love how neons look but I also want it to look a little more diverse

They'll school together great and complement each other well as they will be right around the same size and patterns, but as Reygan2 mentioned, you will be pushing it to create a decent school of both types. 5-6 of each would be about it depending on what filtration you have and other fish. What else do you have going on with your tank?

Tetras don't school anyway, unless in a large tank with larger fish. Even then, they shoal, not school. If you want a small schooling fish, look at the danio species. In 10g, you won't get that schooling effect still, but if you get a small enough fish, maybe Tinwini danios, they will go back and forth in a tight group. If you must go with tetra, I recommend cardinals instead of neons. More colour, and a full red stripe instead of half.
