Welcome to the forum! Have you researched cycling your new tank? Have a read through the beginners resource center. It has great articles that can prevent headaches.

I think guppies would be okay in a 10 gallon. Other good choices could be Neon Tetras, Harlequin Rasboras, and Cherry Shrimp. Some people say Neons are not as hardy as they once were, and not good for young tanks. I found them to do fine for me, though.

mystery snails or apple snails are great. My 2 snails just had there 1st offspring and i have 170+ snails to shift lol....anyway they get big if looked after real big my 3 adults are huge bigger then golf balls and need a space of 2.5 gallons per adult do would advise against them mate in a small tank, heres a pc of mine they are much bigger now hope it helps.
