Look at stocking six or seven Cherry Barbs. One of the few Barb varieties that aren't nippy.

Yes, cherries and a betta will be fine. I have 7 in my 15g with a Mahachai Betta (used to be a pair but the male died)
Some other good options include:
- Harlequin Rasboras
- Cardinal Tetras
- Glowlight Danios
- Pencilfish

Cherry barbs are not picky eaters. I recomend you choose a small pellet food for both the betta and the barbs. bug bites, aqatic foods inc, ultra fresh and northfing have good options for them. I would supplamint the diet with lives, frozen, even freeze dried daphnia.
You should not have to think about breeding with barbs, they need a few more steps to make breeding happen.
A 10 gallon would be heavilly stalked if you add a shcool of cherry barbs, IMOP, Keep up with water changes, dont overfeed, add lots of live plants and it can work.
Other options for tankmates could be
featherfin rainbow fish
chili, emerald, emerald eye, or other small rasbora.

Hmmm in my 15g they breed without any extra things. I have no idea why lol
Whenever I've put those with Splendens complex males, they slowly disappear...
Most adult male betta splendens complex can eat them so would not recommend.
