For a ten gallon tank you can keep small gobies. About an inch or so. Keep in mind saltwater fish are less hardy than their FW counterparts. Blood shrimp and cleaner shrimp are a joy to watch. G'Luck and let us know how it goes.
I find this wrong..SW fish are SUPER hardy..... its just about the species of fish you choose.
Alright if you dont mind id like to set you up with a awsome little 10 gallon.
First go get some live sand .... the pic down below is the best.
Get some salt , pictured below is what i use.
i would get a little live rock , you dont really need to much. Anything from 1 pound -10 pounds is fine. I would roll with atleast 5 though.
Light - anything will due.
I dont know if you need instructions but o well ill toss them in.
Okay fill up you tank 3/4 the way. declorinate (duh) and begin to add the right amount of salt. Make sure you have a hydrometer , i have a salanity scope they are very cheap on ebay ... 20$ and 100$ in lfs. ONce you add the right salt , add sand. Its only 10 gallons so dont worry about makeing a sand storm. Add live rock. add a little power head. Dont use your HOB filter till the storm clears , sand ruins filters im sure you know.
Then go to the store and find a quarter sized trigger. Keep in mind he will outgrow the tank soon , but you will enjoy him so much more than anything else in a 10 gallon. You wont be able to wait to upgrade your sw tank and buy him a buddy.
you can buy him little damsel fish and ghost shrimp , and watch him tear them up. They are so cute but so wicked mean. You could even toss a 5 inch snowflake eel in the tank with the trigger. Then toss 2 gold fish and there and watch the party begin!!! but keep in mind thats rare occiasons keep them HAND fed on shrimp , that way you will have the most persionality from them. They will know you and know that you feed them, everytime they see you they will go wild.
This is of course if you can upgrade for the future once they outgrow the tank in say 3 months.... or maybe more.
