Cheap and easy i'd say get some show guppies (fancy tails they might be called by you). They are very colorful, small, and will breed if conditions are right. Depending on filtration i'd say buy about 10.
There are also tetra's they come in many diferent colors and sizes (generally small). If this is your first tank i'd start with guppies and some tetra's. They are easy to care for and cheap to replace if something goes wronge.
I'd also get a pleco to help with cleaning the tank since 10 gallon tanks are tricky to clean without completely changing the water chemistry.
If you go with something else just make sure you know what size it will get to in adulthood. Many fish will reach 6 inches to 2 feet in length when properly cared for. Ask a sales rep at your local pet store.

All the fish answered by Libby (except the Betta) are saltwater fish. In a 10 gallon, some good fish would be Dwarf Gouramis, Guppies, Tetras, Rasboras, Kuhli Loaches, Barbs, Ram Cichlids, or Apistos. All are small and colorful. Obviously, you can't have all of them because they have specific needs. For any questions regarding compatibility, check out fishless cycling.com.

Neons are small and maybe some tetras. There are different kinds of tetra fish so you could pick some. Just remember that you can only have a small amount of fish in a ten gallon tank.

Bettas; but be aware that males cannot be kept with any other bettas.
Other than that, fancy guppies and killifish.
