Depends what tetra.

Smaller varieties like neons and cards you could fit a small school of 6-10 depending on what else is in the tank.
I would not suggest anything the size of white skirts or larger. The sized tank simply doesn't offer them room to swim.

You can fit about 8-10 Neons in a 10Gal tank.

You can get 6 and that would leave you with more room to get other fish.

One other possibility, if you can find such a rarity, is a dwarf characin such as Hyphessobrycon georgettae. Nicely coloured fish, and only reaches 20mm in length. Trouble is, finding them is going to be a major logistical exercise, because they are rare in the hobby. But if you can ... you could theoretically keep 10 of those in your aquarium, although you would need to be fairly scrupulous about water changes.
