what temp does my 10 gallon fish tank need to be?

10 gallon is really too small for Goldfish, they get big and very messy. The sheer amount of mess they make can overwhelm the very small 10 gallon volume. For more than one Goldfish you're better off with over 45-55 gallons. Goldfish should only be kept with other Goldfish of similar variety.

Instead go tropical, pop in a 50w/100w heater set to around the 75F mark, and have a read through this:

A ten gallon tank is simply too small for goldfish. I recommend purchasing a heater and going with smaller tropical community fish instead.

There was no need to delete. I had an added detail ready to submit.
 
apart from other goldfish - a butterfly pleco and some white cloud mountain minnows. Goldfish do not need a heater so basically your tank will temp.
