    It is hard to get a show fish for a 10 gallon community, either they get too big or they are not very good community fish...not really sure what other options there are.

    if you are set on a betta, than try it out. i have heard of success stories. Just make sure you have a backup plan If there is no peaceful co-existence. I would suggest adding the tetras and cories in first. if you add the betta first, he will claim the tank as his and won;t be very accepting of intruders.

    EDIT: You could get a dwarf cichlid, like a german blue ram or bolivian ram, or an apistogramma like a cacatouides or agassizii These get fairly colorful and do well with tetras.
