30 to 10 Gal

So I am in the process of cleaning up my 30 gal tank it is macro algae over run. I want to move my 3 fish (yellow watchman gobie, blennie, 1 green chromis) to a 10 gallon tank I set up next to my main. They will probably be in the smaller tank for about 1 month.

Is the 10 gallon to small for that. All 34 fish are tiny 1.5 inches each max. I'll also move my hermits and snails if I can get them

If you do it, just keep up with water changes, and you should be okay I would think. Supply some hiding spots, though.
