Two 3 inch fish is a lot of bio-load for a 10 gallon tank. But thats just my opinion, in the end, its your tank not mine.
I am going to agree with you here Imaexpat2. Sometimes the question is not if it is possible or not, but more is it a good idea or going to be a good environment for the creatures in it. All the rules aside I always try to look at this way. If these fish were in the ocean, would they be happy living in this space, with this many neighbors, and having this much space to explore? If your answer is no, most likely it is not a good thing to do, even if it may be possible. At least for me the happiness of the livestock is equally, if not more important, then the fun of watching them.
