10 Gallon... glass drum?

I would use it for a giant Fancy Guppy tank. They will use the entire depth of it. I would also put some plants in it as well!.Guppies, endlers, killifish, Betta, many things. Mostly plants though.
The filter is the next problem. I'm going to need some sort of off-the-tank small filter that filters at least thirty gallons, then stick a sponge on the bottom of the intake.
Could you use a small canister filter? I have never used a canister as of yet, so I'm just asking.
How about a sponge filter? I've seen some that are rated for about 30g, and the tank isn't going to have all that high of a bioload anyways.
i think a sponge filter large enough would take up most of the bottom area and make it difficult to plant fully.
3 or 4 male guppies, some shrimp or a couple snails and twice-weekly 50% changes should work out nicely.

A mini canister would probably be your best bet. That, or a tiny internal. Considering the dearth of floor space, sponges, as chicken said would take up way too much space, and hob filters won't work cuz of the curved sides. I'd say go with a rapids mini canister. Que has a writeup of one on his blog.
oh, they do too eat shrimp... they'll tear em up like a puffer on a crayfish. ask me how i know.
