Petluvr, do you even know anything about boids?
Why is it not suitable for the snake?
To say that the tank is not suitable for fish is a bit much. I know it is because I've done it before with simpler community fish. I want to try something challenging.

Ok, I'll rephrase: in my opinion and in my past experience, it will be difficult if not impossible to maintain fish with proper health, life span and living conditions with regard to water quality, temperature, swimming space and conspecifics.
But, since you've done it before, you seem to have it all figured out. Why bother asking?

We do know from your past thread that you have a green anaconda in there which will eventually get 12 feet long at the minimum. No fish at all in that little shallow dipping pool you call an aquarium. The only fish that could go in there and not be eaten by the anaconda is a couple of endlers.
Yes, this is what I meant by or that snake I was talking about long term. Please don't be so defensive we all are trying to answer YOUR question and maybe give a little advice to save you and your animals trouble in the future, SORRY.
I'm only being defensive because the only people that are trying to "help" me are really just criticizing my tank and my snake.
My "dipping pool" Is actually 8 gallons. I've added water and it nearly takes up a forth of the tank. Apparently 10 gallons is too small for cichlids. That's fine, after the responses ive gotten from everyone I've ruled out the dwarf cichlid idea. What I was hoping to get out of this was helpful advice. Instead of people saying "No you can't put anything but endlers in there."
I'm keeping the water clean and I'll be testing it tomorrow. If the parameters check out I'm going to remove the guppies and add fish.
It'd be awsome if someone could be a pal and let me know what fish would work and what I'd need to do to keep them healthy. Also, keep in mind that I'll be upgrading to a larger tank within the next year to accommodate the anaconda's needs. Like I said in the last thread. I know what I'm doing when it comes to snakes. Please keep your advice and opinions to yourself when it comes to the snake. Thanks
(Oh and I appreciate your new attitude sploke. You've been very helpful)
P.s. MY ANACONDA DOESN'T EAT FISH

With large temperature swings, lack of real filtration, and the threat of the anaconda eating the fish, the only fish I could see in that tank are endlers, or guppies.
As stated already it's too small for any real fish other than maybe some tetras.

I would add a thermometer to the tank and see what the temperature gradient is, and then get back to us. Without knowing if it's going to be coldwater or tropical tank, it's hard to give advice.
