1. Sixline - I've had good results, but YMMV. An absolute workhorse for pests.
2. Chromis - best added in multiples, ie: 2, 3, etc.
3. Damselfish - azure or blue devil for the most peaceful varieties.
4. Canary blenny - midas blenny is a good alternative.
5. Dottyback - blue striped or neon are the most laid back.
6. Hawkfish - definitely a blame hawkfish.
7. Probably wouldn't mix two blennies.
8, 9, 10. Banngai cardinalfish, lyretail anthias.

I would probably get a pair of either; Banggai will be less maintenance as they kind of "float" around and don't have the same feeding requirements as lyretails. But I have both cardinalfish (4) and anthias (4) in my tank.
