Special Betta Fish Breeds

Can i put a Dragonfish in a 10 gallon tank?I cant find info on captive aquarium/special bred or? Violet gobys?

Is this even possible? heres what i have now-
1-fresh water crab – female,2-African Dwarf frogs -unknown, 1-betta-male, 1-sucker fish – unknown
id like to add a dragonfish(goby?) – but im getting conflicting information on this fish – i dont even know if its really a dragonfish or not – they look similar to some of the pictures ive seen of the violet goby- but im not sure the pictures are kinda out of focus or from a different angle than the fish ive seen.ive gone to 5 different stores that supposedly specialize in fish, and 4 said you can put 1 in a ten gallon tank, that they wont get much bigger, and theyll be fine with anything thats larger than its mouth – the 5th said i need a 120 gallon tank and that it will grow up to 30 inches? one of these guys even said that their store breeds them smaller and specifically for fresh water tanks- that they typically dont reach more than a foot long ? (i dont understand that though) please help – i dont really wanna kill one just to see.

violet gobys mainly occur in brackish waters rather than freshwater, so not only is your tank too small (they get to about 24″-30″ in the wild, more like 14″-16″ in captivity), but it’s the wrong water type!
below is a profile.

also, your crab, crab’s aren’t usually completely aquatic and need land to get out on.

and i’d ID your suckerfish, there’s very few who can live in a 10 gallon happily, and if you’ve got bad luck and got a Chinese Algae Eater or Golden Sucking Loach, they’re vicious little buggers and will attempt to eat your betta or frogs over any algae.
