Small tanks are much harder to maintain stabile water parameters. You don't have all of the extra water to help buffer anything. 1 days evaporation can raise the salinty signifacantly (sp) depending on your lighting and canopy. A/C vents and heating ducts can also effect the temp of your tank quicker in a smaller tank. If you can afford it get a bigger tank and use the 10 gal as a QT tank.

There are a few fish that will do nicely in a 10 gallon, but with the damsel in there your choices are even more limited.
I would suggest a mantis shrimp... maybe? I know it isn't a fish, but they are really neat. If you get a smasher, then it may be ok with your damsel...but it won't be ok with snails and anything with a hard exoskeleton.

nope very few species can break a glass tank..and those few species get to big for a 10 gallon -from what I have heard; haven't owned those species.

I would say if your tank is fully cycled take the yellow damsel back and get a clown or a pair of clowns or get some kind of small goby . YOu really only have room for 1-2 very small fish. be careful not to overcrowd.If you like damsels get 2 . I had 2 in my tank to begin with and they didn't fight but they were put in at the same time and my tank is a 29.I have a friend with that has a goby , a damsel in her 10 gallon so you can put a fish in. ALso do a search if you leave your tank up for 6 months you can add a chocolate chip star , and many other interesting animals. DOn't think you have to have everything everyone else has. Good luck

yellow watchman goby, firefish goby, and a clown goby are your best bet.
