Yes, the top three should be just fine, given that you acclimate them to the SG of your tank. I'm not sure about the 4th one... I'm not familiar with it. Does it have a common name? I guess you could always try it anyways and see what happens.

I would suggest maybe going here and reading this article that I found... It gives a lot of different species that are supposed to be able to withstand higher SGs.

Hope it helps.

Make sure you acclimate them from freshwater SG 1.001 up to the desired salinity of your 10g tank. If you don't they may not die for some time, but they won't grow either. They have to be established and healthy before you can move them to a higher salinity, otherwise they'll just slowly die.
