Personally, I wouldn't keep a snapper and a softshell together, even if they're hatchlings. A 10 gallon would hold a snapper or softshell for 6 months or maybe a little longer. If you get both, I would put them in a 20 gallon long for starting out. For a snapper, I would have the water level around 3-4 inches and for a softshell, I'd make it the same or a little higher. Both would need a place to get out of the water and some places that they can get explore underwater(caves made outta rocks or hollowed out logs). Make sure that you have a good filter, too.
