Well now that have decided not do get the DSHs got and Ideas what i could have in a 10g? I am open to all ideas.

heartsongsinger

a small school of neon or cardinal tetras. Dwarf platies (only 1.5in). Some ballon mollies, mine have real personalities.

Paleofish

Well i really meant SW fish.

Paleofish

Could i have a pair of clowns in the 10g?

Hypnox

There are people that keep a pair but having a single clown is stretching it. You could go with 1 or 2 gobies, or 1 false percula clown, or 1 mandarin dragonet or 1 4 or 6 line wrasse with 1 gobie. Other than that you really don't have much choice. Most people get a better light system and keep soft corals in a 10 gallon and have only 1 fish as a sort of show piece in the tank.

I have a Royal Gramma and a 4-line Wrasse in my 10gal. I'd say a pair percs or pair of Ocellaris clowns would be fine. But thats probably the only types of clowns i'd put in there. And you should know i am an overstocker.

Paleofish

OK. How about a pair of neon gobies?

How about two mollies and some neons, sorry I know nothing about neon gobies!>?

Hypnox

Gobies tend to be aggressive towards other gobies, any species, and typically do not work in small tanks together. They need a lot of hiding spaces as well. You would be able to put a royal gramma and a goby together, or perhaps a goby with an ocellaris clown.

Paleofish

Well how about a watchman goby and A pistol shrimp?

Coryd55

A shrimp/prawn goby and a pistol shrimp would be fine in a 10G, I would think.

I wouldn't do Mandarin Dragonets. They tend to die in home aquaria due to lack of small inverts - copepods - in the subtrate. Unlesss you had a large refugium or large tank going, they would be very hard to keep and would probably starve to death.
