It depends entirely on the type of fish you want to put in. I would recommend some of the following species: Small tetras (Neon Tetra, Ember Tetra, Lemon Tetra, X-ray tetra, etc)

Betta/Siamese fighting fish (Remember, only ONE)

Zebra danios

Small corydoras species (Julii cories, panda cories, etc)

Guppies

Platies

Gourami (like the betta, only ONE) Because a 10 gallon is so small, you would be limited to a school of 6-8 of ONE type of species, or a mix of two smaller schools of two species. You probably don't want to put more than 8 or 10 fish in that tank. Here are some example combinations:

6 neon tetra

1 gourami

or

5 guppies

5 ember tetra

or

10 lemon tetra And so on. There are hundreds of possibilities, and in a well-maintained tank, any one of them would be beautiful. Look around your local pet stores to see what they have available, and do some research on each species that interests you before you go back and buy anything. Stay away from plecos ("algae eaters"), "sharks," pacu, and other fish that grow to be very large, because they will outgrow the tank. As an alternative to fish, you could also have an invertebrate-only tank, stocked with different kinds of shrimp and snails.

well it probably depends on the size of the fish because you don't want to put 10 fist size fish in there do you?

It all depends on the size of the tank (gallons). Bigger the gallons the more fish. The General rule is 1 inch of fish per gallon of water.

About 1 fish for every gallon but they have to be small if it's big like an Oscar about 50 gallons per fish for the big fish.

1 gallon tank what type of fish can you put in it?

A 1 gallon tank could have one betta fish, but you will need to be diligent about changing the water on a regular basis. The smallest tank that should be used, even for a betta, is a 2.5 gallon tank as it at least gives the fish swimming room.

Danios or glofish would be a good fish to put in the tank. They are schooling fish which means you would need at least three and I wouldn't put more than 5 in a ten gallon tank.
