are most of these low maintenance?
user
When it comes to keeping fish, the most important thing is to know your water requirements, and provide your fish with enough.  These fish will not require fancy water filters, and can generally survive fine in water that is not fully cycled.  Not all of these fish require large tanks, but in general, each of these fish will do fine in a twenty gallon tank.

will my 10 year old be able to care for a fish tank without adult supervision?
user
The short answer is that yes, your ten year old can care for a fish tank without adult supervision.  That said, your ten year old should definitely be learning the basics about how to care for fish in a home environment.  Adult supervision will not make this a difficult task, but your ten year old will be much better equipped to care for the fish with a little knowledge.
