10g tank, what to put in?

With a goldfish you don't need a heater but you do need a bigger tank. Goldfish get huge but don't need warm water. Your water parameters say that the tank has not been cycled yet.
I would take the goldie back and work on cycling the tank but that's me. If you are attached to it, you can try a fish-in cycle. Its time to start reading up on it and be ready for the frequent water changes. That goldie will produce plenty of ammonia for a cycle but also enough to damage himself.

can't i just use (1) Using Established Bio-Logical Filter Media, how do i create ammonia, do i just throw something dead inside or just let the goldfish make a mess then take him out

ok so it should be at least 30 gallons. you will need to buy a stand, more filters, more deco, possibly more substrate...

what is a deco and substrate
 
Deco is decorations, substarte is a fancy word for the sand or gravel. You can either create your own ammonia by letting something rot in the tank or you can buy ammonia dirt cheap at a hardware store. If buying ammonia, do not get the lemon scented or the one with surfactants or detergents. You are not trying to clean glass, you are trying to feed bacteria.
You get established media from somebody who already has an aquarium going and is willing to give you some out of their filter.
 
my brother got his kid some red claw crabs from petsmart for xmas, n he wanted to put them in the tank. will it survive?
already moved the goldfish to another tank. n now doing a fishless cycling.

where can i buy a cleaning crew online?
and what should a cleaning crew consist of?

dont be lulled into the false sense of security with a cleaning crew. too many people think they can just throw in some cories, snails, and shrimp to take care of the mess when they arent just scavengers...cories especially need to be fed.

in a FW tank, there really is no need for a cleaning crew...a gravel vac in essentially all you need ;)
 
how many more fish can i put in?
hav 3 black mollies, 2 red clawed crabs, 1 african dwarf frog, and 1 bala shark
