Hi Peter,
Take a deep breath and relax. First, is your tank cycled? 2 weeks seems too short a time for a tank to have cycled.
Do you know about the nitrogen cycle? It usually requires 3-5 weeks to fully complete a cycle, depending on your conditions.
If so, or you are planning to add fish once the cycle is complete, you have quite a few options. I can name a few for you that I like, but what you really want to get is up to you.
Heres some 10g suitable fish for you:
White Cloud Mountain Minnows
Guppies
Platys
Threadfin Rainbowfish
Celebes Rainbowfish
Shelldwellers of some sorts -Little Mousling would reccomend one species that would be suitable for you.
Pygmy Corys (hasbrosus)
Ottos
BN pleco
Hillstream Loach
Harlequin Rasbora
Emerald Green Rasbora
Neons
Black Neons
Glowlight Tetras
Silvertip Tetras
Rummynose tetras
Lemon Tetras
Killifish
Bumblebee Goby
Shrimp
Kuhli Loaches
There are lots of possibilities for a 10g tank. Look at the fish store and see what you like and check back with us, we will help you discover if the fish you like is suitable.

Hey peter why don't you let your tank finish cycle before moving around stock. You been posting a lot of threads about adding new fish to that new tank, why don't you take it easy and let it cycle first. For the best interests of the fish and tank it is the best thing to do.
