This air pump
With this sponge would work great!
You will need some airline tubing with it but I usually find that cheaper in store
I use two Tetra Whispers. I use a 20g pump on my 55 gallon and 10g pump on my 15 gallon tank. They work just fine and are very quiet. I recommend them.
If you're using it to power a filter, the Tetra Whisper20 is a good size. The 10 will work fine if you're using it just for aeration. There's adjustable valves you can use to control air flow without having to pay extra for an air pump with that feature built in. If I remember correctly, an adjustable valve is included with the Tetra whisper pumps. You'll probably have to purchase a check valve separately as a safety measure to prevent back flow if the air pump gets powered off.
For a 10 gallon, I would recommend Endlers over guppies, so you have some lee-way when they start breeding (unless you get only males). Swordtails are not appropriate for an aquarium that size.
I need a new filter system for my fish tank so my fish stop getting sucked up and dying. I currently have pantyhose over the filter intake so they cant get in, but its only a temporary fix. I need this in order to keep my fishies safe :(
I don't know if it will ruin your aesthetic, but maybe the Whisper 3i? Being an in-tank filter, it does take up a little room, but the uptake pipe is transparent, which helps reduce the visual profile, I think. I use it in my 2.2g, in parallel with the UGF that came with the tank. I power both off the same pump, with a splitter. I'm probably over-doing it on the pump, but I figure there's likely some back-pressure and leakage out the splitter's joints and valves.
