It’s alright!
Give me a few minutes and I can find some of the ones from each genus commonly found and kept in captivity :)

Gobies have many names you'll appreciate that list more than you know. Unless you want just a normal run of the mill goby. Having that list is quite helpful.

The temptation to grab a yellow or green from my LFS is getting to me but the issue is trying to sex both my current species AND the one in the LFS.

You could keep amblyeleotris (wheelers, Randall’s, aurora, etc.) or cryptocentrus (yellow watchman) gobies too. They will pair with a pistol shrimp and make an entertaining display.

wait so could any of these be fine with 1 clownfish in the 10 gal? or is that overstock?
I’d be cautious if it’s a clownfish in with them, they can get aggressive and not many gobies work with aggression however it should work if the clown is still juvenile (Be warned, as an adult the clownfish may turn that tank into a crime scene).
