Ultimate 3 fish for 10g nano reef poll

[trevorspencer94]

Hi all, I have a 10g nano that's a developing reef, it's live rock and live sand only right now, I am going to be adding (so far the plan is anyways) some gsp, a couple mushrooms, a couple leather corals, some zoas and some xenias. I plan to have about a dozen snails as the CUC for this tank, probably 6 nerites and 6 ceriths. I plan on keeping a stock of 3 nano fish in this tank, so here lies the question... What would be all of your dream teams of 3 fish be for this tank?!

Here is a couple pics from the set up of the tank to get an idea of rock layout. (The clown is not a resident in this tank anymore)

Also, the equipment is 2x 24w t5 ho bulbs that are 23" long, a 15g rated hob filter with biowheel and a carbon bag and filter, 200w heater, and a 200gph power head for flow.

Royal gramma
Yellow clown goby
High-fin perchlet

Helfrichi firefish
Green banded goby
Possum wrasse

Yasha goby
Pearly jawfish
Blackcap basslet

Loads more combinations you could do, but any of these mixes would give you a variety of color and behavior. You could mix and match to a degree.

Good answer! Ideally I would like 3 fish that are pretty active around the reef and seen most of the time, rather than hiding.

Yellow assessor, curious wormfish, yashe haze goby.

3 chromis call it a day all they so is swim no hiding there

 

[trevorspencer94]

Another good list of 3! And @knukles55, I hear Chromis usually dwindle down to 1, maybe 1 Chromis and 2 others? Idk!

i would do a pair of clowns and maybe a goby....
on a side note (IMO) a dozen snails may be a lot for a 10gal tank

 

[trevorspencer94]

Awesome suggestions everyone! And @trio91 you're probably right, I will probably start out with 2 snails each of 3 variants or 3 snails each of 2 variants

3 blue neon gobies!

Clown, royal gamma, chalk basslet, and forget the xenia!

 

[trevorspencer94]

Do you say forget the Xenia since they can kinda take over? Lol
