Most algae eaters are too big for a 10. Otos, the only algae-eating fish small enough for a 10, can be sensitive and aren't recommended for immature tanks. Some shrimp are great algae eaters (like Amanos) However, your best bet to combat algae is light stocking and copious water changes. Limit your lighting to 8-10 hrs a day, change a little water every week, and don't overstock..and you should have little to no algae problems.
