Not in a 10 gallon! it gets to be 5.5 inches, thats like you locked in a small closet for life...

On the website, it says min. 30, and I would go for more then that.
 
You could use the 10 gallon as a grow out tank, but definately not permanantly

growing out a fish in a tank that is too small kind of eliminates the point of a grow out tank...

the idea of grow out tanks is to give them plenty of room to grow!
 
I would also point out that most of the other information on that website is not accurate, they can be fussy eaters and need a meaty diet. They do not eat algae. They do not compete well for food so would not recomend keeping them with loaches. They have also been succesfully bread in captivity. I would not reccomend keeping them in a 10 gallon tank you may stunt their growth. A few in a 30 gallon should be fine.
