Um...not to nitpick, but 10 gallon tanks aren't big enough. O_o
How can you squeeze in all that a Syrian needs in that small of a space? I am assuming you have Syrians as there are pictures of them in your signature.
Take the wheel for example. A Syrian should have a wheel no smaller than 12 inches, as to keep their backs absolutely flat while running. If their backs curve while they are running, they will surly develop spinal deformities and neurological problems down the road. I have a hard seeing how you'd fit a 12 inch wheel into a 10 gallon cage.
I can fit one into my 29 gallon tank easily enough, but still, I feel it takes up a lot of room.
