    First off welcome to maast. Glad to see new people in the hobby. Everyfish you have in the tank is to big for it. In a 10g you want no more than 2 fish max in my opinion. And the fish should be considered nano friendly. Nothing that is or get over 2" should be in a 10g. Have you done any research with books or internet, because If you had it would tell you the specifications for the fish you listed. Those specification would give you a minimum tank size which from the fish you listed will be anywhere from 55g-150g. Id suggest returning the fish and placing a proper fish or 2 in there place or upgrade to a larger tank ASAP. This may be a joke, but if not do lots of research before you buy anything else.

    thanks for the welcome, i've had the tank for prob a month, and ill take a pic as soon as i can borrow a camera from my friend prob this week. Well i really didn't know too much on how many fish or size to put in my tank but i asked someone at a fish store and they told me it would be fine with the fish i have, when i bought the last fish from them,which was the blue tang...

    Simply do more research before you buy. If the store you are shopping at truely told you its ok to put all these fish in a 10g you should stop shopping there. They are pulling your leg and just trying to make a buck. I wouldnt be surprised if the store told you they would be ok in a 100g, but a 10g is a little over the top.
