Answer:
'Lamprologus' brevis - 1 pair http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1743 'Lamprologus' similis - 1 trio http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1758 'Lamprologus' multifasciatus - 1 trio http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1749 Apistogramma cacatuoides - 1 pair Tanichthys albonubes "White Cloud Minnow" - 4 Apistogramma bitaeniata - 1 pair Brachydanio rerio "Zebra Danio" - 6 Apistogramma agassizii - 1 pair Tanichthys albonubes "White Cloud Minnow" - 4 The first three are shell dwellers and they are pretty common and cool to keep since they will spawn in a 10 gallon tank in the shells. This also goes with the apistogramma's they are also cool fish to keep just do to there personality and there color they hold so well. Angles are cichlids yes. clown Loaches are also able to be kept with cichlds as well. But you will need a bigger tank to have any of the fish you are talking about having... Sorry but a 55 would be ideal for both of these fish and give you more options to plant and aquascape the tank to make it look good. Ive seen people mix other cichlids with angles like apistogamma like i said above along with adding blue rams. Its all up to what interests you more.

Yeah, Flowerhorns need at least 75g! Angelfish need at least 35-40g and yes they are Cichlids. Clown Loaches need at least 55g as juveniles, over 200 gallons as adults. You like big fish, but your tank is not suitable for them! The only Cichlid set up that could work in a 10g is with Dwarf Tanganyikan Shelldwellers. They are tiny, not very colourful, 1 male and a couple of females (with shells) works in a 10g. ALL other Cichlids need much larger set ups.

None of the fish you suggested are good for a 10 gallon tank. Many of them, like the clown loaches and flowerhorn, can grow to be bigger than the tank is wide. There are some really cool cichlids that can fit in a 10 gallon tank though - if you have access to them in your city. They are known as 'shell dwellers' and they are small, but spunky cichlids. My favorite shell dweller cichlid to keep in a 10 gallon is a harem (usually 1 male and 2-3 females) of occellatus gold. They are also known as "occies". These guys are small, but they constantly dig and fight and breed. You shouldn't keep anything else with them, but they will be one of the most active/entertaining fish tanks you have ever seen!

Well I don't recommend larger aggressive chiclids with angelfish the will Definately destroy their fins. There is no chiclid that can really go in a 10 gal. but, If you go a little bigger you can get things like german blue rams and the bolivian ram They are semiaggressive and are smaller and very colorful.

angel fish need about 30 gallons minimum and don't mix so well with cichlids, and personally I wouldn't keep them in 10g either. Clown loaches get way way to big for 10g. You are pretty much limited to small tetra in a bare minimum school or a betta and either pygmy cory or shrimp.

None of the fish you mentioned should be kept in a 10 gallon. Get yourself a 29~55 gallon tank, then you'll have a whole lot more options.
