10 Gallon...

I dont put anything with my bettas as the will kill anything I put with them but I guess it depends on the personality of the fish. You could try putting your betta in the tank and if he chases others take him out right away.
As a rule of thumb allow 1 inch of fish per gallon of water. So id say 10-11 by themselves and less if the betta will tolerate the other fish.

What do you think of harlequin rasboras?
My betta totally ignores them. Their fins are quite small, maybe that's why, who knows. They're a lovely raspberry color, with a striking black triangle on the back half of their body.
Putting in plants-- fake or real-- helps too, I think... out of sight, out of mind, I guess.
Some bettas will tolerate no tankmates whatsoever, so it does depend on the temperament of your particular betta.

wat JWright said was right,if ur zebra didnt nip ur betta fin,ur betta will attack them if u since u r nt plantin ur tanks.Zebra danios wont get well with long fin tank mates.if u like fish like betta try black phantom,they can flare.I have 4 black phantom they quite tolerate to everything,juz they like to bully when feeding time.N i dun think zebra will nip their tails they like to chase around sometimes.or u can go for tetras...
I think you need to do a wee bit of your homework yourself. 
IMO danios will ~fit~ a 10 gallon but don't belong there and certainly not with a betta -- their requirements are different and their temperaments usually clash like the devil.
If you want a betta with something else in a 10, you'll need to consider smaller tetras, rasboras and a few, more peaceful barbs without flowy fins as tankmates. Also, you can consider a couple types of cats (smaller corydoras, ottos, and such)
