cpoll86 · 08/21/2008, 08:27 PM

any kind of firefish would be great. all are very colorful. the yellow watchman goby is another bright fish.

Sorry for being stubborn

sixline wrasse, a number of shrimp gobies, clown gobies

Royal gramma....can't get more colorful than that. Neon goby is small, but colorful. C.parasema damsel is pretty and not too aggressive, but add it last, b/c they can be a bit more pushy in small tanks.

Neon Cleaner Goby, Green Band Goby, Yasha Hase, Geometric Pygmy Hawk (Plectranthias inermis), Bangaii Cardinal (not colorful per se, but a striking pattern), various Pseudochromis (Arabian, Bicolor, Royal, ORA Indigo, etc), Wormfish, Bicolor Blenny, Mimic Blenny...

Skip 'em, they have a pretty poor survival rate in aquaria.

Unless he's doing a cold water tank I wouldn't recommend it.

Yasha Haze Goby.

SeaMac2 · 08/21/2008, 10:30 PM

Citron (or other clown) goby, clownfish, firefish...others as suggested above.

FapMan · 08/21/2008, 11:11 PM

would this be overstocked?
1 royal gamma
1 neon goby
2 yellow tail damsels?

FapMan · 08/22/2008, 05:20 AM

bump anyone?

wayne in norway · 08/22/2008, 05:22 AM

I'd stick to one, a gramma or a small dotty - Cypho purpurescens or a fridmanii

Saltz Creep · 08/22/2008, 06:05 AM

Blue neon goby

Oh, I'd never heard that...

Octopus8 · 08/22/2008, 09:10 AM

How about a pseudochromis fridmani (Orchid Dottyback).

ospouh · 08/22/2008, 12:55 PM

just do a percula and an azure damse, or a tomato and an azure thats what i did with my 10 gallon and they seems to get along (somewhat) but never fought seriously

J. Montgomery · 08/22/2008, 01:23 PM

IMO, 10 gallon is too small for a royal gramma.

Is this right?

Flavum · 08/22/2008, 01:55 PM

I think a 10 gallon is kinda tight for them although in a 10 gallon your fish selection will be very limited.
