Hello Ava,
With the possibility of using an air tube, you can connect it to a sponge
filter or air driven box filter, and use the available power outlet for a
heater. This way you can choose any type of fish that is small enough for a
10 gallon. Don't put a wooden hood, and the room's light or a nearby lamp
may provide enough light for the tank.
But if you want a power filter, and your room temperature never drops below
65F, then you can keep swordtails without a heater (I've seen them listed
under a 64-82F range).
I would personally go with the first option (a sponge fitler and a heater)
and not risk a sudden temperature drop that would put my fish into danger.
Take care,
Noura

Subject: [AquaticLife] Low-tech fish tanks?
Hello,
I'm wanting to add another fish tank to my collection. However, I've only
got one outlet open!
I have an empty 10gallon tank that I would like to fill somehow though I'm
not sure with what.
Because I only have one outlet, I'd have to choose one of the following:
heater, filter, or light. I don't need an air pump, I could connect it to my
current one.
Water temp would probably be around 65-68F at room temp where I'd have the
tank.
Would I be able to do something like that? Ideas on kinds of fish? Maybe an
axolotl? Thanks.
-Ava
