    have a good filter on that tank, like an aquaclear 20. I'd even use that aquaclear on a 5 gal tank lol. so for the ten you might be able to get an aquaclear 30. just control the flow...

    Make sure you don't add all of the fish at one time. Allow time for the bio filter to catch up after each new lot of fish you add. I would leave a week minimum between adding any more fish.
