Hmm, Can't Decide Fish For 10g.

[Wuzzo]

I will maybe start a 10g soon. I'm not sure but if I do I can't decide a fish or 2. I was thinking maybe a cool clownfish, or 2 or 3 small unique gobies. I can't decide. Does anybody know a very unique and cool looking fish that can go in a 10g? Or should I stick with what I was thinking? Thanks!

I would go with at least a 20 gal. Not much you can do with a 10 gal.

I also would go for a 20 gal instead of 10. If you really want a 10 gal, then I would do the smaller shrimp goby/pair with their shrimp. Yasha, Randal or Dracula goby with A. randalli shrimp.

 

[Wuzzo]

I can't fit a 20 gallon anywhere. I have to stick with smaller tanks.

I’ve got a 10g all in one. Just have a clownfish and a yellow clown goby nothing to exciting.

Pygmy Wrasse and a Barnacle blenny.

As far as size goes maybe go for a 20gal cube? Might be less of a footprint for you rather than a 20L or 20h ‍

If you have your mind set on a 10 gallon, I'd go with a few nano fish. High fin goby, clown goby, masked goby, greenbanded goby, yasha goby, orange spotted goby,
two spot bimaculatus blenny, and barnacle blennies are a few fish that stay fairly small. You could also do a lone, single pair of clowns if you kept on top of your water changes and didn't keep any other fish. Just remember that with a smaller tank, you have to be more attentive to evaporation and water parameters as there is less wiggle room compared to tanks with higher volume.

I would do a small group of barnacle blennies if I was restricted to 10 gallons.

I agree with the barnacle blennies (panamic not the larger eyebrow). You could also have Yasha's goby pistol shrimp with a couple of the blennies.

I have two barnacle blennies and a clown goby in mine and they are doing very well. They were added in Dec of 2017.

 

[Wuzzo]

Guys what about what LetItReef said? Pygmy Wrasse and Barnacle Blenny? They both look cool and are small!

 

[eatbreakfast]

I would also recommend a colony of barnacle blennies. I would go for a pink streak wrasse too.

 

[Wuzzo]

So, it’s decided a Pygmy Wrasse and Barnacle Blenny!

 

[Jesterrace]

Both great choices for that tank.

 

[Wuzzo]

Oh, I just realized how expensive pygmy wrasses are. If I can't afford when I set up I will get maybe a Hifin Goby and a Clown Goby or some Goby with a Barnacle Blenny. Also, the tank is going to be mainly RFAs but there will stil be other corals and inverts. Is that something I should take with caution?

 

[Jesterrace]

Clown Gobies can nip at SPS Corals but generally do well with LPS and Softies. If you want to go cheap, a couple of Euphyllia Frags will easily fill out a 10 gallon in a couple of years.
