i was reading the article written by Maxilaria, It said that condys and other anemones are to be fed ever other day with fish soaked in selcon or other supplements.... what other supplements would be good for mine?

Mine are lucky to eat once a week! I believe this is over feeding, tho I have BTAs not Condies. They harbor zooxanthelle that help to feed them and do not require a feeding every other day, as in the wild they don't eat this much. .

But everyone has opinions I guess, my theory is *If in doubt . . Underfeed!*

Best thing for them is simply water changes and good lighting and a feeding once a week. IMHO

the LFS told me to feed him everyother week and i did he would stay balled up until he would get fed... So i have been feeding him every three days or so (of only small squares of silversides) and he seem to be happier. He dont Tuck himself anymore...Should i keep feeding him like this? cause my light is not so good

Well depending on how long the condy has been in there it may be too late to worry about light. As long as it keeps eating feed it. I would add much more light though if you can, probably a minimum of 60 watts or so.

A 10 gallon tank won't house an anemone for very long, sorry to say it will probably die very young.
