I am looking for things that are very peaceful. Nothing that gets over 4-5 inches. Bonus points for something that stays in the water column and doesn't perch often. I am culturing pods, but I want to stay way from anymore pod eaters if possible. I stay away from jumpers I.e. diamond gobies or firefish.
I breed live foods BBS, pods, phyto, and rotifers. I can add what ever is needed to that list.

I like green banded gobies and anthias but both have draw backs. China zebra barred gobies are nice too, but like surfing carpets.

Nice! Thanks, I considered them a while back I don't know why I didn't just do it. That sounds great!

Anything else? I know 11 fish sounds like a lot, but in this tank I am lucky I see 3 at one time. If they were large fish this would not be an option but with this many small guys; low nitrates and fat fish I just want more movement.

Maybe a fairy or flasher wrasse. Anthias are nice too. And I love me some Firefish even though they are so common. But yeah, you really need a hood or canopy for them or they'll end up on the ground.
