well??

Dwarf Cichlids like Apistos and GBR's are probably you're best bet. Maybe Kribs...I can't remember how big they get though.

i had my male convict in a 10 for like 9 months it got about 4 inches now he is in a 35g with his mate

Kribs get to about 4.5 inches. You can have them in a 10g if you can provide plenty of caves.

I wouldn't keep any CA/SA Cichlids in a 10G for anything other than quarantine as juveniles or as a hospital tank. Not even Apistogramma or rams.

Ive kept and bred apistos in a 10 just fine you will need a lot of plants tho

some apistos and corys will do fine in a 10 IMO

I visited some breeder friends the past Friday and saw shelves of 10g tanks being used as apisto breeders. Like dpk mentioned you need losts of plants in there.

My view is that you can keep and breed them in a 10g, but it's not that enjoyable for either you or the fish. A 20L would be that much better...

I wouldnt do kribs. Most apistos get too big but there are some of the smaller ones like borelli that could do fine.

GBRs would be fine if you ask me. I had a single bolivian in a 10g for about a year too and he was ok, probably not ideal though.

10 gallon is good for holding fry and as hospital tank (depending on size)
