Have that going in a 55 gallon any more suggestions?
I might just resort to damsels?

Nah, don't do damsels. What about a cool goby? like a court jester or one of the clown gobies?

How about a mantis shrimp? or a couple dwarf sea-horses?

Barnacle Blennies... Those little guys are awesome. A group of a few of them in a few barnacles would be neat. Base a little reef around that...

Neon gobies, clown gobies... mostly gobies. liveaquaria has a whole section of 'nano fish' on their site... might want to check it out.

Great shot, Joe. That blenny looks evil, red horns, teeth.

It will almost surely starve to death in a 10 gallon. I have yet to see one accept prepared foods, and that's having dealt with dozens and dozens of them.

Indeed a risk, but a cool fish all the same.

Not really a 'risk'... pretty much a promise.

Id do a whole pack of neon gobies if I had a tank that size again. Like 6 of them... they grow to a pretty decent size, but I bet you could get them to spawn too.

Don't get something that will surely die in a ten gallon please!

Lotsa stuff you could do. And I like Damsels. They are cool.

Personally, I do a pair of Stonogobiops yasha with a pistol shrimp and then a yellow or blue assesor. I also upgrade my 10 gallon to a 15 gallon before I even start adding anything ;)
