Aren't those too big to put in a ten gallon? I have some but they are in my stock tank.

99% of the recommendations on this useless thread are too big to put in a ten gallon..
Either get a bigger tank or just stick with what everyone else does.
You have a pond full of Koi and Goldfish yet you want to mess about with a tiny box..

You have a lot of options for a 10g, like guppies, a platy, betta, honey gourami, neons, jellybean tetras, ember tetras, dwarf cories, rcs, ghost shrimp, chili rasbora, galaxy rasbora, shell dwelling cichlids, clown killifish, Norman's lamp-eye killifish, dwarf anchor catfish, an oto pair, ect. We are not sure what you want because you thew us off with the life span question, and then with the breeding question. So, they are a good option. Are they the best option? Well, depends. If you like them, I would say go ahead and look into setting up a frog habitat. But, nobody can guarantee that with any species you will get good stock and it will live a long time or that it will breed. A lot of these fish are a bit tricky, and adf can be too. I would go with what you like, and is available, and is appropriate for your tank. Adf are appropriate, so they can certainly be a fun option.
Will a fish like this work? They are really cool IMO. They are also native to my area so I don't know if its legal to have these but they don't have swim bladders and so instead of using their fins for swimming they just use then to kind of scoot themselves around on the sand.
EDIT: forgot the picture.... Picture coming right up!

If you are looking for something unique, try freshwater sponges. Go to Science Supplies & Curriculum - STEM - Chemistry and look up freshwater sponges. You can keep them with inverts and fish (personally I wouldn't do fish because it will be a lot of work in a 10 gallon), or you can do 4 african dwarf frogs. They live 10+ years and are hardy. The sponges live pretty much forever but you need to feed them green water. Keep the nitrate low by planting lots of bog plants in HOB filters (that's what I do and my nitrate never go above 5ppm in my 32g goldfish tank). Again, that's what I'll do if I had a 10 gallon. I already have that setup on a 7 gallon, so if you have any question you can ask me.
Freshwater sponges? Ok I'll look into that! I don't have an HOB filter but I'm planning on making this a planted tank so nitrates shouldn't be a problem. When you say green water you mean....? I'm definitely looking for something unique and exotic I don't want this to be just some kid's first fish tank with tacky deco and a goldfish that will live for a few days only to die of ammonia poisoning! I want something that most people don't have or at least something that is cool!
