hi
yes i would say to get a heater,there are many on the market,
not sure if there are any reccomendations in the equipment section,
i personally use visi therm,and i have found them to work well.

The Marineland stealth visitherm is a good brand.

not if you want shrimp, but anything else, yup. They have some really cheep ones at walmart that work pretty well!

dramaqueen

Why do they not work for shrimp?

veganchick

A couple of other options for a 10 liter tank:
-1 dwarf puffer (cool little guys, but they need live and frozen foods so be prepared for that)
-1 badis badis (dwarf chameleon fish - harder to find but very cool. Also needs frozen and live foods)
-1 sparkling gourami
-1 male and 2 female Endler's livebearers (like smaller versions of guppies. The males are gorgeous. Be prepared to sell some babies back to the fish store)

You definitely want to get the tank cycled before you add any sort of creature to it. I strongly recommend researching the aquarium cycle and purchasing a good liquid test kit like the API Freshwater Master Test Kit (cheaper online than in stores by a longshot).
