Gold barbs need much more space than ten gallons. The flagfish (a type of killifish) should be okay, since they are small. I don't know if killies are active or not though, so check up on that. If they are active, don't get them. Four inches of active fish is too much for ten gallons of water. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I'm sure I left some viable candidates out, but you get the idea. It depends on what interests you. Is color more important to you, or personality? Do you like schooling fish, or those that can be kept singly? See where I'm going with this? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir!
