Default new to nano tanks

I have no clue what to do about starting a 10 gallon nano tank. What are some good fish to put in one? How many fish should I put in it? Thanks in advance for the advice.

A 6 line wrasse requires a 30 gallon tank minimum.

I have a maroon clown and anenome in 12 gallon Nano. I also have a Mandarin Dragonet. Many types of Blennys, Gobies and fire fish are also good choices.

I've heard conflicting information on this...nevertheless the wrasse seems very happy and swins in and out of the caves and tunnells I have set up. I went with my LFS reccommendation in addng it. At this point its smaller than my blenny and clown. I guess if it becomes unhappy I'll give it away to a good home.
