Active and peaceful fish for a 10 gallon.

I'm looking for and active and peaceful fish for a 10 gallon. Any suggestions?

Purple fire fish are cool, pair of clowns always works as well.

I have a purple firefish and a clownfish. Anything else?

Lol well that would have been good to know! Just kidden, those are the two i always kept in really small tanks so i'll let others jump in. Cleaner shrimp would be cool and adds lots of movement and personality.

Diamond watchman? Great for sandbeds, but are known jumpers

I should've let you known. I also have a cleaner shrimp.

I have a lid with clips so I'll consider it.

Diamond watchmen get to five inches so I wouldn't put it in a ten personally. You could go for a yellow watchman or wheeler goby, those are peaceful and pretty, but they usually stay near their burrows, so maybe not the most active fish.

Your tank seems pretty well stocked for a 10 gallon. A diamond watchman goby will not do well in a 10 gallon due to their love of sifting the sanded, size, and not finding enough food in a 10 gallons and also they will mess up your tank. IMO you're good with fish maybe get a cool invertebrate like a pom pom crab?

May favorite fish is a Royal Gramma. It might be a bit big for a 10g but even in my larger system, mine tends to stay in one very small general area.

 

[Rednamalas]

I'm gonna second this! Inverts are some of the most interesting animals in the hobby, maybe add a small rock flower anemone with sexy shrimp, that'd be pretty awesome.

Take a look at the list of tiny gobies in my build thread. (Under my icon). I have no less than 9 gobies (and a Fire Clown) in a 14 gallon cube. I don't recommend putting that many in from the start of course. All of these get on magnificently. Except for the supposedly bonded pair of yellow neon/cleaner hybrids. The male relentlessly chases the duller colored female. Not so sure that they are a bonded pair.
