What do I need to set up a 10 gallon aquarium and what kind of fish can I put in it?

As a Tropical Fish person, i will give you a Tropical Fish opinion.
You can use either gravel, (what I use) or sand for the terrain. Fake and or live plants work well. 10 gallons is quite fair for any of the Betta and Poecilidae (Guppy, Endlers, Platy, Molly, Swordtail, etc.) species as the main fish, and Corydoras as bottom feeders.

2. Using multiple 10-20 filters helps you cut back on water changes.
