Help me decide what fish to get
I am close to the stocking phase of my 10 gallon nano project and I can't decide what fish to get for it.
I thought I'd decided on a goby or two but then thought I liked psuedochromis's too. I also like the Royal Gramma  I can't make up my mind!!!
I guess what will help me decide is what other inhabitants can live with what.
I will only have a Sun Coral, an open brain ( maybe ) and a variety of leathers as far as corals go. I wouldn't mind having 2 or 3 fish total so that would probably mean i need to use gobies. I know I can only house 1 psuedo in a ten gallon, right?
The main thing I want is color, activity and hardiness. Any suggestions?

cool fish. Psuedochromis can be nasty little fish so I would not put them in close quarters with most other fish. The Orchid dotty back is supposed to be the least mean. I would do a gramma and a goby/blenny.

Nope, not yet...I don't wanna rush things and get a fish I'm gonna be unhappy with in a month or two 
I really like that one above! That's slick.
I think though, that I've convinced myself to stick with gobies. I think a Royal Gramma WOULD looke good in there too.
That's why I like nano's so much. You focus on the inhabitants and their characteristics more than equipment..... |

I'm looking at this fish now. http://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11...ot_parent_id=4
The only thing is that the description says it's a jumper. I'll be running an open top. Is this really a concern with this fish? |

Be sure to post some pics when you get the fish acclimated! I don't think I've seen any of those in person but they are so cool-looking!
Good luck -
