Maybe a court jester goby ( Amblygobius rainfordi) they are cute fish and supposedly eat some algae. For color and personality (but no algae eating) I would go for a sixline wrasse ( Pseudocheilinus hexataenia). |

court jesters...great fish, they do eat pods in your sand...so it needs something of an established tank. I had one in my 15 that had been set up for six months when I added him, and he did great. I loved the little guy...I'm trying to find another one, actually. The LFS keeps on selling them faster than I can get out there, and I don't want to have him hold one b/c my budget is so up in the air being a medical student and all...

I would love a pair of clown gobies (I don't know if they can be kept in pairs) in a minibow 7 or a 5.5 That would be a nice setup for fish. The green ones are really pretty. |

Clown Gobies are fairly docile fish but they will fight with same species. Better kept with other docile fish of differant species.

well for a ten gallon you're about maxed out on fish already... but one more might not be too bad. a yellow watchman goby might be a good selection. |
