10G Salt

[Gavinfleury29]

Any stocking ideas for 10g and I got a question can you go to the beach and find a fish then put it in your tank or is that illegal

I don't think 10 gallon is big enough to have any saltwater fish. Never kept any but if I could I'd get a minimum of 30 gallon. Perhaps an invertebrate of somekind . As for legality it would depend where you are but if it was I wouldn't. Get from the wild that is.

The chances of it making it alive in the tank is unlikely. Tank bred marine fish is where you want to be.

The above is right, it's honestly too small for fish and crabs etc is where you'd be. Also note if you've never had a marine before you'll find it insanely hard to upkeep.

I have family with a salt. W. as for law I live in B.C. Canada I live 50 meters away from the ocean all the animals I could get would be a mini crab or a little fish from a tide pool

You need to check the laws of your area on your own. Any place that sells fishing tackle should be able to give you at least some information on the subject or point you to where the regulations are to read them in detail. I don't know the laws up there, but it could well be illegal or require a permit - even for invertebrates like crabs and frequently for things like rocks and sand as well. A lot of little fish you'll run across at certain times of year can be juveniles of much bigger things, making them both a bad choice for a tank and also possibly illegal to collect if the species is regulated by fishing laws. Another problem is that those animals outside your house are COLDWATER and may not even survive at ambient room temperature for very long. There can be some exceptions, but you would have to thoroughly research the animals first - there is no such thing as a generic "mini crab" (some of those as well may be youngsters of crabs that grow quite large) so you need to know the species in your area, read up on them, and learn how to identify them. Tidal invertebrates also tend to be escape artists and/or require land access, and can require specialized setups as a result.

10 gallons is large enough for 3 fish, chosen carefully. I had 2 10 gallons before. Lots of topping off water and can be unstable

You could have a species of dwarf goby That's as far as I've gotten so far though  
Blue Neon Gobies, a trio would be perfect in your tank.

Try searching "Nano Saltwater Fish".  Pick 10 that you like, and come back here and post them.  We'll tell you what will work and what won't.  I'd say nothing over 3 inches, and most things that get three inches wouldn't work.
