I wouldn't feel comfortable keeping ten guppies in a 15.

Greetings. I keep 20 to 30 guppies in my 10 USG tanks, along with 6 to 10 Corys. As long as you are doing adequate water changes, that is not a problem. The guppies will attempt to eat the Cory eggs, but once they get stuck to their mouth, they generally quit trying. lol. They will, however, devour any Cory fry, the instant they hatch. - Frank
