I have a question. I have an extra 10 gallon aquarium because my
goldfish has been upgraded to a 20 long. I have a group of 4 female
gerbils--a mom, a big sister, and two little sisters. (Big Sis was born
at the beginning of June; Little Sisses were born at the end). What
would be the best way to split them? I sort of thought Mom and a little
gerbil as one pair, and Big Sis and the other little gerbil as another.
Or should I keep the littermates together and have Mom and Big Sis stay
as a pair? Or does it really matter? Thanks.

What colors are they? You can split them up so that each tank has two
different colors in each.
Having two different colors in each tank would make identification
easier, when doing behavioral observations for medical reasons
(illnesses) or social interactions that may indicate dominance issues.
On the other hand, It may be best, if the two little sisters remained
together, since they shared the nest from birth.
