Never add more than 2-3 small fish at a time, and always at least 10 days apart

That's the way to go if you have any hardy fish on your stocking list.
I don't suggest neons for a 10g tank. They do better in groups of atleast 8 IMO and you don't have room for 8 in a 10g. I had my 10g planted with a betta and 6 neons. The neons hid all the time. It could have been the betta, I'm not sure. I moved them to my 29g which now has 8 neons, 8 glowlights and some other fish and the neons are out all the time. They swim around and don't hide anymore. They do better in larger groups.
I've never heard of cherry danios...do you mean cherry barbs? Maybe I just haven't seen them.
Now, my 10g has a male betta and 6 Harlequin Rasboras. Everyone is happy. The Harlies are very pretty, and they are hardy too, so you could add 4 to get the cycle started.
