Shrimp tank!!!!!!!!!
 
Well the 1.5...shrimp..obviously. Not much else that could thrive in there. I would suggest green babaulti or mandarins. I just think their colors would really pop in there.

For the 10 gal I would avoid anything that thrives at temps higher than 76, since IME those tetras heaters won't be able to consistently keep a 10 gal much warmer than that. You could do something like 6 ember tetras, 6 Endler's, and 6 corydoras habrosus.
 
For the 10, there are ember tetras, chili rasbora, micro rasbora, celestial pearl danios, dwarf gourami, Asian stone catfish, and the 3 pygmy cory species. There are other nanos, but I was trying to stick with the temp siva gave. I love my embers. But, I think celestial pearl danios are awesome. You could keep a cpd school with a dwarf crayfish or 2. :)
Another neat fish that doesn't thrive at higher temps is tyhe pygmy sunfish. I have heard they are a bit hard to get to accept flakes however.
 
I lost my betta to fin rot in the 10g so its clean and up running. I used to keep my betta in the 1.5 till I got my 10. I want to redo my 29g so the 10g may become a holding tank, not sure
