I would try to at least get a 30 or 40 breeder for 8 of em. And they'll look nicer and be easier for you to pick

This is a horrible idea, no offense but there's not enough volume to establish proper bio load in a 10g especially having to do large and frequent water changes. IMO you'll run into more problems then expected. I suggest a55 min to grow out a group that size to 3"

I'd say move them to at least a 55G as soon as you can. I had 6 in a 4 foot grow out tank and it didn't take long for them to start fighting for space.
I did the same thing, I had 4 in a 55 grow out tank trying to get a male and female. I was newer to the species and underestimated their aggression. I had to separate them within a week of buying them due to aggression levels rising so fast. I took two back to the lfs and kept two. Good luck.
