Are there any Cichlids Suitable for 10 gal?

Though some of these recommendations are sound, I would have no problem telling you cichlids in a 10g would work. I kept two mbunas in a 10g tank happily for 6+ months, when I finally shifted them out because I turned my 55g into a cichlid tank.
I have a 10g african tank with a pair of julidochromis transcriptus and an upside down catfish. The julies will reach a size of 2-3" and the cat will get to be 3-4". This is a good setup, with lots of caves and rocks and 1 java fern plant. I do regular water changes and the fish look great. I hope that the julies will breed (may have to remove the cat). Theses are fairly expensive fish, but are small and beautiful. Highly recomended for a small tank.
They might kill each other when breeding in a tank that small, just a thought. 
My ocellatus killed off all his females but one in a 10 gallon, and those are TINY fish.
