I breed regularly in 10-gallon tanks. In fact, I had my cacatuoides breeders in a 5 gallon to keep them between spawnings, and they spawned in there. She is tending the fry, and the male has avaided any scathing attacks from her like I alsways see in tens. Go figure. But you can't leave the fry in a ten as they grow. You will need to move them to bigger digs at some point. Do you have a twenty or thirty handy?
