not enough. You should purchase a heater. Ir’s not very expensive, I had one, it’s very good.

That depends on what sort of fish/frogs/shrimp you get, Heaters are not very expensive and a light wont work. Goldfish dont need heaters but 10 gallons is too small for a goldfish.
EDIT:
They may currently be 1.5 inches but they should grow over 12 inches.

the light is only a temporary fix. Buy a heater.

Lights dont really work as a source of heat- but by the sounds of it you may not need a heater for your fishtank.
Goldfish are cold water fish so they dont need to be kept with a heater, and the rest depends on what freshwater fish/frogs/shrimp you get.
Cant say its advisable to keep a frog in an aquarium, though.
Best to talk to your local pet store about the heat requirements of any fish you are thinking of getting.
