It may LOOK like plenty of room, but the amount of water in a 10 gallon tank isn't going to be able to support a large enough bacteria colony in that tank to keep more fish healthy. With the fish you already have, you'll want to do frequent water changes of 30% or so to keep the parameters stable, IMO.
