For a 10 gallon tank I would not put in females unless you get a dwarf gourami or a betta to eat the fry. So here is what I would do:
1. 1 dwarf gourami OR 1 female betta + 1 male guppy and 3 females + 4 ghost shrimp
2. 5 male guppies + 4 ghost shrimp + 2 ottos
If you want to breed them then 1 male to every 2 females is good, and make sure you have other tanks for the fry.
Female Guppies usually eat their fry but having a Gourami will help control population. I would go with 1 male Guppy, 3 Female Guppies and a Dwarf Gourami.
i bought 5 female guppies and at 12 A.M one started having the drop so i had to go to walmart and buy a breeder net to keep them in there um im guessing she had about 30+ so if u want to keep the fry then dont get anything but if u want the population in order yeah get those gourmis....if i were u i would keep te fry and resale them to supply u with fish food,filters,medicines etc. um ok well anyways what type color u got females
Guppies don't need salt.
Warning: if you choose both male & female guppies, you will end up with many, many baby guppies. Unless you have housing for all these guppies, you would do well to choose 1 gender only.
Guppies are very active fish and require quite a bit of swimming room. I'd recommend 4 gups tops.

I had a spare 20g, decided to turn it into a plant tank to house excess plants from my bigger tanks and also make it a feeder tank to raise snails and guppies as feeders. I decided on fancy guppies since they would also make the tank look half way decent. I put in 3 males and 2 females. It took just a few months and there were probably 50 guppies in there 
and this is not in ideal conditions either - I mean I have no filter no heater no air pump no nothin other than a hood and 15W light fixture, but they multiply like mad. Anyone want any guppies?
