In my smaller tanks I have had least killifish, bumblebee gobies and dwarf puffers. Gobies and pufferfish would be a bit harder to keep since they require frozen food, and the gobies are brackish water.
If this is your first tank I would probably do a hardy breed like a betta or the least killies. If you want small live bearers like endlers or guppies make sure to get just males or females because they will fill a ten gallon with babies pretty fast. It's pretty easy to spot which sex the fish are though.
As far as equipment, get a properly sized filter and make sure to cycle the tank. Depending on the type of fish you may need a heater. If you live somewhere warm like California, the small heating pads have worked best for me as far as longevity, and ease of use. If you want to grow plants make sure to get proper lighting. 10 gallons usually come with a hood, just pop a couple 6500k cfls in there. For cheap substrate, sand at home depot works well after a lot of rinsing out, for good substrate something like flourite works well for planted tanks.
Have you looked at Seachem's Flourite Dark? I just picked some up. It looks pretty dark in the bag, but of course underwater with lights will be a different story. I considered mixing the Flourite Dark with some Flourite Black, but I think I'll take my chances.
A lot of people here know, but most people in the outside world don't, that I'm really into aquarium keeping :). I have a few fishtanks now, and am working on parts that I need for a big brackish tank next.
One of the things I need is substrate.
